You'll need a plinth and phono amp too.Look up Jim Campbell. Great table, good arm and Shure cartridge. 
Mounting a Jelco Tonearm
My 12" Jelco overhang is meant to be 15mm but it's about 10mm with no discernable negative effect. The 750L comes with a template so not sure why this is even an issue other than the feeling that the bolts should be in center of slots. 
Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic)
