Spacedeck Shelter 501mk2 question.

Anyone who has or has had this setup, is the cartridge square to the headshell? When my cartridge is aligned using the protractor that came with the Nottingham, it is quite out of square with the headshell. Is my arm pod in the wrong position? It sounds ok, but I feel I am not getting the most of this setup.
Thanks, Jon

Jon,
I agree w/Raul. The DB protractor is similar in design to the one Nottingham provides.
Raul, a quick of the Spacedeck is that the armpod swings in an arc towards/away from the table when a bolt is loosened. This has to be adjusted with the platter removed before you use any protractor. Until the pivot to spindle distance is in range, you can't stand a chance of getting close to correct w/a protractor. Cheers,
Spencer

Thank you to all that have responded. The cartridge seems to align fine with the Nottinghham protractor at the 211 mm pivot to spindle distance. The Nottingham protractor is a two null point design. Does anyone know what this distance should be?

The arm pod has always been more the key to good cart setup to me on my space. Never gotten a cart to align exactly with the headshell. Never had one that sits at a real angle either.
