How do YOU find the hole?

You need the template for the arm. Otherwise try the Vinyl Engine library and find the tonearm-pillar-to-spindle distance, and then simply measure it out to the best place on your tonearm board. The library always tells you the item is not available after you sign in, so you return to the library, and click on the tonearm again. It'll be there. At least, that's how it works for me. Good Luck.

While i don't know if i'll be able to find the specific info that i'm looking for there, The Vinyl Engine is a GREAT resource for vinyl related subjects. GOBS of pictures of various tables, arms, etc... Thank YOU John.... Sean

Sean I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but get an ink pad. Put the bottom of the base on the pad. Then stamp the image on the arm board, and use the image to locate the holes. I am assuming of course that you do not have the template for the arm.

If this is not what you are asking, just ignore me and chalk it up to youthful ignorance.

If you could post the arm part number then maybe someone has the spindle to arm pillar required dimension.

Sorry I'm so late to this thread. I had to go back and look up my Graham arm instructions from 1996. I recall reading about two positions. The Seagrave/Baerwald position optimizes performance near the outer edge and inner grooves. The Loefgren position optimizes in the mid grooves. (I couldn't find these on Google. Maybe the Graham site used to post a white paper that he would be willing to email?) Most people choose the former. The actual difference in position between the two is so small (1/8"?) that I personally wouldn't attempt any of this without a template. Good luck.
