Tonearm Mfg's mistake

I own a Freikert and am done for the rest of my days. A good investment.

Great Job.  I just ordered the Dr Feickert protractor.

one protractor, get the answers, write em down where you use them

The Feickert protractor costs about $300 and will work for you for the rest of your overhung pivoted tonearm life, no matter what tonearm you may ever use. (And you can probably have one within a day or two from now, shipped within the US from any of several vendors.) How much are you paying for the Stogi-specific protractor? Do the math coupled with your own expectations for vinyl over the coming years. It doesn't make sense, if you have long term interest in vinyl, to pile up a bunch of protractors each specific for only one tonearm.

I have something on order now for the Stogi Arm I have.  It could take a few weeks to get here though.  Coming from the UK. 

Break down and buy the Feickert protractor, and you’ll never need another. It provides for all 9 and 12-inch tonearms.

what you need are the ANSWERS, distance numbers, for

a. install tonearm, centerline distance: spindle to pivot.

installed: CHECK IT IS CORRECT when you buy a Turntable. Something could move during transit, it may not be properly tight, or was done imprecisely, rare, but check it.

install: draw an arc, and find a location on the arc that keeps the rest of the tonearm within the dust cover when in place.

b. overhang distance, spindle to stylus tip, MOVE CARTRIDGE forward or back in the headshell, set overhang prior to ’c’.

c. two null point measurements, these vary relative to specific arm geometry. ALIGN CARTRIDGE’s CENTERLINE, find the best ’straight to the lines’ compromise for two arm specific null point locations.

Hudson Hifi Alignment Disc, Other Side Blank

has a grid of lines to use once you have the answers for ANY arm.

Use other blank side to set anti-skate last, see the arm move in/out/float in place as you make adjustment while manually spinning.

NULL POINTS Article

excerpt

The three advertized alignments and their null points are:

Baerwald 66 and 120.9
Loefgren 70.3 and 116.6
Stevenson 60.325 and 117.42

I got the paper version with the table. Not good for me. 

If you bought the Kuzma brand new it would have come with a protractor.
