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.

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.

Smotyka says:
I also have a Wally Tractor and Wally sent me one that had an effective length of 235mm, same as a Graham.
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....
Only due to the non-responses you yourself and others have posted. It would appear he's on a hiatus of sorts. I have heard very good things about the wallytractor in conjunction with the WT. Good luck....
Dear Mred: I wonder if you have a trouble with your tonearm/cartridge alignment on the past or today: is it something wrong with your tonearm/cartridge performance?

from this " manual ": http://www.vinylengine.com/library/well-tempered/arm.shtml

it seems to me that you can/could make the alignment but maybe I could be wrong.

Now if you must needs the thread tonearm " numbers " maybe you can/could try to contact Transparent Audio ( Karen Summer. ) that build for years the WT products or to Andy Payor ( Rockport Technologies ) who made some re-designs about, maybe they could help you.

Anyway, with the WT protractor you have the effective length ( from stylus tip on the protrator to the bearing center ) and you have too the " mounting distance ( spindle center to the bearing center )and for subtraction the overhang and you say already have the offset angle. Of course that you have to make/take, with the right measure tool, those measures.

Anyway, it is almost incredible that the world distributor of WT can't answer to its customers.

Regards and enjoy the music.
