VPI JMW 12.7 Spindle/pivot distance

I purchased a new VPI JMW 12.7 Tonearm and I intend to install on my Micro Seiki RX-1500G.
I appreciate if someone can give me the distance between the pivot and spindle, since the VPI provides no info on her Tonearms which is a shame on the contrary unlike other top manufacturers that provide this type of information that is crucial.

Thank you.

If it's like my JMW 10 - and it looks like it is in photos - there should be a set screw on the left side, just below the height adjust knob. You can adjust the arm to spindle distance by rotating the arm base. I used the JMW jig and snugged the base into the jigs "vee"


Only the original JMW 10 and 12 arms had a "dog leg" support that could be pivoted to adjust for S2P distance. 12.5 and 12.7 arms have a fixed support, therefore, you will need to adjust the entire base to achieve the proper S2P distance.
