Note that some Phantoms have longer armtubes, which have been made primarily for use with turntables that have oversize platters. I think that these are 10 or 10.5 inches.

Phantom custom mount on SME slot?
I currently have a Graham 1.5T mounted on a VPI TNT using an SME type mount. There is a Phantom with the Graham custom base available to me and I'm trying to determine if the custom base could be used on my current armboard with SME cutout.
Centre of the SME cutout is the same as the custom base ~8.5" from the spindle and width of slot is about 30mm.
Thinking it should be possible to mount over the SME cutout and just drill the new holes required by the Graham base.
This would save me getting a new armboard in the short term.
Wondering if one of the forum's Phantom owners, with Graham custom mounting base, could measure the diameter of the base and the distance between mounting holes?
Also interested in any opinions on whether the Phantom Custom base is better/same as SME mount sound-wise?
