Great tip from another forum


I just wanted to share a tip on cartridge alignment that was suggested on another forum.

If the cartridge has sides that run parallel to the cantilever (as many do) then hold a straight piece of wire, or long sewing needle along the cartridge body to make it much easier to check alignment with the grid on your protractor.

I used blu-tak to hold the needle along the edge of my cartridge and was able to confirm that the tracking angle was slightly off. Since I corrected it inner groove distortion has disappeared (this on a Goldring 1042 with a line contact stylus).

Correct overhang setting has nothing to do with any of the cartridge surfaces; only the cantilever.
