Exactly where is the pivot point of Dynavector 507

I've posted this before but here it is again:

1. Make a tiny dot with a fine point pen on a small piece of Scotch tape. The tinier the dot, the better.

2. Stick the tape on top of the bearing housing, with the dot directly above where you *think* the pivot point is.

3. View the dot from *directly* above and swing the arm back and forth through its full arc. If the dot moves it's not above the pivot point. Move the tape and try again.

4. Iterate as often as necessary until the dot remains stationary. Voila! There's your pivot point.

Should take about 30 seconds,
Doug

P.S. If you have a Feickert, verify that the dot stays exactly beneath the pin as the arm swings.

P.P.S. Agree about the Mint.

Hello doug,

that is of huge help!!
my 2nd concern.
Once I find that exact pivot point, the spindle to pivot point is 226mm for the 507 mk2.
I set the stainless ruler for that, move the armboard so it be that distance. done!
Unfortunately, when i set the overhang, the stylus is a few mm short to reach the 226mm dot at the feikert white plastic disc.
I tried to move the headshell as far as possible and its still short.
Now what do i do ?

I've never used a Feickert for cartridge overhang/zenith adjustment, since other tools are better, so I can't answer your question.

If you have a Mint protractor, use that and forget the Feickert disc.
