Well Tempered Reference Arm


Can anyone provide answers to the following:

What is the............

1) Effective length (in millimeters)

2) Mounting distance (spindle to pivot)

3) Offset angle

I'm trying to get this info so Mint LP can devise their protractor for me.

Rauliruegas,

Re: Stanalog..........I'm very frustrated because I've tried many times over the last 2-3 months (both phone and Email) to contact them and have gotten no response. Any ideas why??
Mred,

I also have an interest since I have a Well Tempered reference arm & table also. Note that my table goes back to the square motor design.

I also have a Wally Tractor and Wally sent me one that had an effective legnth of 235mm, same as a Graham. My spindle to pivot measures about 217mm. Note that this is a pain to measure since the pivot is where the threads intersect.

I've assumed that the effective length was the distance from the pivot to the stylus tip - thus this measurement depends on the cartridge that you'd be using. - I think! I'm using a Shelter 901.

As far as offset angle, are you referring to the angle of the cartridge mounting head? If so, I measured that angle at 68 degrees.

Hope this doesn't confuse any further. I'm going to try to remeasure again & I'll let you know what I come up with.

Gentleman?,

Thank you all for your responses but it seems I have no consensus answer to rely on ie........

Mann says:
I think from spindle to pivot 9.2 inch or (234mm)and the 20 degree tracking angle for the cartridge.

AND........As far as offset angle, are you referring to the angle of the cartridge mounting head? If so, I measured that angle at 68 degrees.

Donaudio says:
I have a Wallytractor for my WTT Reference and it says the effective length is 238 mm.

This is why I was hoping to hear from STANALOG but no luck.Anyone have any other way to get in touch with STANALOG??? STANALOG,you out there???????? Check your messages/Emails!!!!
I think, unfortunately, that Stanalog is about done, for all intents and purposes. Good luck....
