Not possible. I don't use it any more. It's completely disassembled and in a box.

Sorry 'bout that, I might be interested in an OEM litz cart lead set then.
Nothing to be sorry about. I have to say, I'd rather it be in a box. I have some Super Wire connected to some Cardas. Send me a PM and we can talk about it. That I can send a picture of. It's not pretty, but it works.

Mine is for sale in BT and boxed up tho' I thought another cable might be good to have if I kept it.
Here it is;

He's fortunate to have you available, nothing beats hands-on instruction.
While my Souther TT set-up is for sale I'm still somewhat emotionally attached to it.

POI and I have swapped several emails. The arm locator screw seems gaulled in the right side of the arm. It can be moved only with pliers.
I took my GLG to Home Depot today and tried the nut on some of the studs to find the thread and pitch. It fit snugly, normally, on the 10-24 (coarse) threaded stud. Then I tried the thread of the GLG itself and it was loose in the nut that matched.
This leads me to wonder if the nut is a slightly different thread than the stud of the GLG.
Regardless, I bought a 10-24 tap to possibly clean the threads.
Anyone have a clue as to which thread the GLG and right locating screw are?

The instructions say that the spindle locator and the arm height adjuster have the same pitch to the thread but I'll have to check after work to see if they are the same diameter.

The spindle locator has the same pitch but is MUCH larger. Look for two large holes with a threaded smaller hole between them under his spindle endpiece as with the hinged outer endpiece. If present, that threaded hole will be the same as on the adjuster in the outer endpiece. All endpieces got the same drill finishing for a time, Lou quit finishing both ends thus sometime around the Tri-Quartz.

D'oh! . . .
I should have known. The screw adjustment on top of the spindle locator is BIG!
I went to HD yesterday for nylon screws, no luck. They suggested Fastenall. I pass them on my way out of the industrial park every day.
I have a bag of 10-24 Nylon round head screws for anyone who wants one.
One is reserved for Scott.

I have a tap, several screws with 10-24 thread and will cut some Lexan to the right size to raise the arm.
Scott is coming over Thursday and we will go to work. He is as sure as I am that the cantilever is in jeopardy if he leaves the arm as close to the platter as it is now.
