Here's a quick shot of my Sfrost table I mentioned earlier. I really don't use the cueing for 2 reasons. First the arm has a crack I need to address and second it appears to have been installed for the original straight arm, and not the J shaped Pioneer. It should be relocated about 1/2" to the right as now the piston barely engages the arm at the beginning of play.
But I love the table and opted to keep it over a very nice Denon DP-59L as I liked the sound and had fewer concerns about reliability, since the Denons are beautiful door stops IF the tonearm electronics ever fail.
I may lighten the massive counterweight though to allow use of other 1/2" head shells as most are lighter than the one it has now and I can't balance them w/o adding significant mass. A couple discreet drill holes on the bottom rear should do the Trick once I do the math, but it has been a couple years as is, so who knows??
