Cartridge for an old GRACE 707?

IN 1978 I HAD A GRACE 707 ARM WITH A MICRO ACOUSTICS 2002 CARTRIDGE ON IT .IT WORKED WELL.IN FACT ONE WENT UP FOR SALE YESTERDAY FOR $50 ON AUDIOGON.I STILL HAVE THE ARM IN MY ARCHIVES AND NOW USE A GRAHAM BUT THE 707 DOES A FINE JOB.I ALSO STILL HAVE THE MOUNTING TEMPLATE FOR THE GRACE 707 IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE NEEDS IT. REGARDS,RICH

to whomever gave me negative wotes on my previous comments, why not act like a mature adult & tell me what i said that's untrue, or rude. or if ya yust disagree w/me, yer comments may be of some use to others, as well as to myself.

Not sure who is dumping on you. I started the thread and yours was one of posts that helped me learn about the need for matching a high compliance cart with my low mass arm. I thank you for that.

Thanks Captain. I have an old Oracle Delphi and the 707 came mounted on it. (Perhaps not the best way to ship) There does not appear to be much room for adjustment albiet there is some. Do you feel it would make sense for me to try and improve on the positioning or go with it the way it arrived? I'm obviously quite new at this and after breaking one Sumiko Blue Point Special a bit gun shy.

Thanks

HI BART, AS LONG AS YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE CORRECT OVERHANG FOR YOUR CARTRIDCE THE ARM IS IN THE RIGHT LOCATION.THE TEMPLATE IS NEEDED FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO INSTALL THIS ARM ON AN UNDRILLED ARMBOARD.ANOTHER PROBLEM CONCERNING OVERHANG IS THAT THE DISTANCE OF THE STYLUS TO THE CARTRIDGE MOUNTING HOLES IS NOT THE SAME ON ALL CARTRIDGES.THAT IS WHY HEADSHELLS HAVE SLOTTED HOLES AND THE SME STYLE MOUNT ALLOWS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF THE ARM IN THE MOUNTING BASE,LIKE ON A GRAHAM 1.5 WITH THE SME MOUNTING BASE.THE GRACE 707,REGAS AND MANY MORE ARMS DO NOT HAVE THIS FLEXIBILITY IN THE BASE SO THE ARM LOCATION IN THE ARMBOARD IS SUPER CRITICAL.MY OLD TABLE WITH THE GRACE 707 WORKED GREAT WITH THE MICRO ACOUSTICS BUT WHEN I UPGRADED TO A G.A.S SLEEPING BEAUTY I COULD NOT GET THE CORRECT OVERHANG.THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN THE DEALER WAS DRILLING THE ARMBOARD FOR THE GRACE HE WAS PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THE SANDWICH HE WAS EATING AT THE TIME!!I HAVE HAD THE SAME OVERHANG PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER TABLE AND ARM WHEN TRYING DIFFERENT BRAND CARTRIDGES WHICH HAD A FIXED MOUNTING BASE.
