Nice to see all the recomendations for Whest ;) 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Marginal but possible, compliance of 10x5 is 12 so medium compliance. The RMG's are heavy stuff but you might just get away with it. 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Yes, it is strange to advertise the arm as 12" but in fact it's not wrong perse just a bit confusing as we generally understand the advertised length as referring to pivot to stylus length. :) I've never seen an arm add that advertises it's total ... 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Yes and if you look at the data it says "12 inch over all" (that is with the counter weight) Lateral lenght= 9 1/8 inch. It's all in the name.. 212 is for 212mm or 9 1/8 th inch and 309 is for 309mm or 12 inch. 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Well, what I'm really wonderin is what a 12 inch rmg-212 is ? As the 12 inch would be called a 309 but even so they were both designed with SPU compliance in mind.

p.s. that's why I added it in brackets ;) 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
I know but it's a medium (14) compliance cartridge. 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
I don't know why people are suggesting low compliance carts ,like all the MM's in the list above, for a heavy arm like the RMG-212??? (and that includes the DL 304!) 
Is there a better table than S. Scoutmaster Ref ?
