installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10

Thanks Dover. Yes, it can physically fit. But I wonder how much of the SME overhang adjustment can still be accommodated? Meaning, is this arm at the closest point in the elongated slot so there remains room for standard adjustments with various cartridges?

The SL-1000 (SP-10 mounted in the "obsidian" plinth) was designed for the Technics professional tonearms, with mounting distances of 235mm. I have mounted shorter arms on these decks, with varying degrees of success. Frankly, it just looks odd to me. My advice would be to either hunt up a longer tonearm or mount the SP-10 in a custom plinth.

The platter is 12.5" diameter, most are 12" or less. That, combined with the escutcheon makes many 9" arms hard to mount. I have a VPI 10.5 on my sp10, but it took some twisting.
