Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?

There's multiple solutions which in spite of what others will no doubt tell you the only way to know is to try and listen and hear for yourself.  

First of all let's make sure the problem with the holes isn't that the arm is in the wrong place. Use your preferred template or jig or tape to measure and locate the arm at the correct distance from the spindle. 

Yes your double-sided tape trick will certainly work. Its quick and cheap and simple and the biggest disadvantage is how hard it will be to remove should you ever want to do that. Some arms can simply sit in the mounting hole, their mass and the hole holding them in place. That's the way my Conqueror works. No screws. Lifts right out. Before doing anything else you will want to check this. If the center of mass of your arm is over the mounting base and hole then it will stay put all by itself. The Reed has a lot of the arm off to one side, so it might need to be fastened to stay put. You want to check this because if this is the case then over time your tape will come loose its just a matter of time. The safe sure bet is to use the arm as a template mark with a pencil and drill new holes.  

My preferred solution would be to get some fO.q tape, put that on the under side of the arm base, with another layer of fO.q tape on the table. Then drill your holes and screw the arm down, but only just snug not overly tight, and use a bit of fO.q tape to make some washers so the arm is held to the table in such a way it is practically floating held in place between the fO.q tape.

drill new holes, or acquire a new arm board (if your tt uses arm boards) and have that drilled according to the template.

double backed tape will work, but it’s like using it to attach your phono cartridge. it will compromise things. the precision will be reduced.

i know Haas turntables exist, but somehow cannot find one to look at by searching. do they use arm boards? or is the tonearm base screwed directly to the plinth?

Hi. Thanks for your input. It is a Hanss t-30 (sorry for error) It does have an arm board that I can drill. I do not have a tap and die set so I'd end up using screws instead of machined bolts. 

I used double sided tape on my previous arm and it held very well, was rock tight and came off without a trace (gorilla tape). But I realized that it might compromise the vibration control.

Another way to go might be to find a thin template of wood you could screw down into the existing arm pod, that would accept wood screws to attach the Reed. You might need some washers to avoid the screw going too deep.

this is assuming you have sufficient play to adjust VTA height, it would still be less than ideal but likely better than tape. The least bad approach.

the top of the arm pod is not big enough to allow tape to fully grip the Tonearms base.

That was my fear- very small base, combined with a lot of mass off to one side, not good for tape. 

As for the vibration control aspect of it, just get that tape. You can thank me later.
