Hi Howard (Hakaplan),

Hey, I'm heading out to the cabin tonight (where the solar powered stereo resides) and want to mount up a new cart for the SL-1401. What's the overhang distance from gasket to stylus for Technics again? I know it's different from Pioneer...

I'm sure Howard will be along shortly, but I want to say Technics is 52 and Pioneer is 49. Of course all my notes are at home so best wait for a sure answer. Guess this is a bump :)
 
Thanks, I knew it was 50-something. 52mm it is, and I'll set up the headshell before heading out there, alleviating the need to drag more junk along with me than necessary--as this time of year, it's a 1/3rd of a mile hike in on snowshoes. :D

No sir, its that we've all been well - educated by the master. Overhang has now been relegated to the category of "easy stuff", thanks to your previous posts - plus a few more of us now own Technics DD tables. We need you around to keep us in line on the "harder stuff', though.
 
While we are talking about it...Is the overhang for a Sony the same as the Pioneer? 49mm?

Sansui,
Do you really solar power your tt?
 
Yep, I really do. There are two 95 watt Evergreen panels going thru a JUTA 30 amp controller, charging two deep cycle batteries at any given time. Two fully charged ones are hauled from the solar installation in a clearing into the cabin (about 1/8 mi) and used to power a Sansui 441, the aforementioned Technics. Speakers are some very efficient 8" Cerwin Vegas.

I don't think you've covered *every* obscure measurement of tonearm set-up for every brand and model quite yet... :scratch2:



...so there is still hope you can feel needed again. :D
