Thanks for the feedback. I will have a look into Hollywood Sound since a call to England from New Mexico may get pretty pricey....
I'm actually making progress....I think I have the VTA set fairly accurately, the VTF was no sweat with my Shure gauge, and I've used the Baerwald protractor to check and set my cart alignment and this is also looking pretty good. The distance from the center of the spindle to the center of the pivot of the arm is precisely 210mm now that I've figured how to move the arm base - necessitates removal of platter to get to the lock screws that hold it in place. Loosened that and adjusted to spec, re-tightened and that is good. I'm thinking the overhang, therefore, since using the Baerwald and centering the stylus over the two points, should be right on as well. Thoughts?
