Spacedeck Shelter 501mk2 question.

Anyone who has or has had this setup, is the cartridge square to the headshell? When my cartridge is aligned using the protractor that came with the Nottingham, it is quite out of square with the headshell. Is my arm pod in the wrong position? It sounds ok, but I feel I am not getting the most of this setup.
Thanks, Jon

What is the pivot to spindle distance? That's the best way to judge if armpod is okay. Cheers,

My recollection is that it should only be 203-205mm. Either way, the body of the cart won't be lined up w/the headshell.
Try contacting member, "4yanx". He knows tons about Spacedeck setup, and was very helpful to me when I owned one. Cheers,

Jon,
I agree w/Raul. The DB protractor is similar in design to the one Nottingham provides.
Raul, a quick of the Spacedeck is that the armpod swings in an arc towards/away from the table when a bolt is loosened. This has to be adjusted with the platter removed before you use any protractor. Until the pivot to spindle distance is in range, you can't stand a chance of getting close to correct w/a protractor. Cheers,
Spencer
