Well Tempered Reference Arm


Can anyone provide answers to the following:

What is the............

1) Effective length (in millimeters)

2) Mounting distance (spindle to pivot)

3) Offset angle

I'm trying to get this info so Mint LP can devise their protractor for me.

Donaudio,
Thank you for your help.Any idea how our arm stacks up against better known arms like Graham,Triplaner and VPI etc.?

Rauliruegas,
How do I determine the overhang value?
Mann,

Thanks for your response but your info differs from Donaudios'(via Wallytractor). Where did you get your info?
Rauliruegas,

Re: Stanalog..........I'm very frustrated because I've tried many times over the last 2-3 months (both phone and Email) to contact them and have gotten no response. Any ideas why??
Gentleman?,

Thank you all for your responses but it seems I have no consensus answer to rely on ie........

Mann says:
I think from spindle to pivot 9.2 inch or (234mm)and the 20 degree tracking angle for the cartridge.

Smotyka says:
I also have a Wally Tractor and Wally sent me one that had an effective length of 235mm, same as a Graham.
AND........As far as offset angle, are you referring to the angle of the cartridge mounting head? If so, I measured that angle at 68 degrees.

Donaudio says:
I have a Wallytractor for my WTT Reference and it says the effective length is 238 mm.

This is why I was hoping to hear from STANALOG but no luck.Anyone have any other way to get in touch with STANALOG??? STANALOG,you out there???????? Check your messages/Emails!!!!

"Anyway, it is almost incredible that the world distributor of WT can't answer to its customers."

Yes, most incredible!!! Very disappointing.
Smotyka,Donaudio,Mann,

Stanalog finally responded to my Email and provided the following:

Effective Length - 228 MM
Mounting Distance - 216 MM
Offset angle - 20 degrees

Which contradicts most of your numbers. What do ya think?
