Hi all,
Looking at the specs on VE's tonearm database, except for the original model, the SL 1200 mk2 through mk5 arms are 230mm effective length, 215mm pivot to spindle and thus 15 overhang length.
There is that little plastic Technics SFK0135-01 Overhang Gauge for SL-1200, I assume it is for the 4 last models.
My turntable is a Technics SL 1900, the tonearm specs are the same.
Am I correct to assume that the same gauge should work the same given the above specs are the same?
I actually had a friend adjust the cartridge, by measuring the actual tip to spindle center with a ruler. When I later on checked it using a protractor I verified he was spot on.
