SME 20/2A set up

Hello
I have just set up my new SME 20/2A and the SME V arm(headshell) overhangs the front of the turntable by aprox 1 inch.This seems odd as the cartridge could be knocked quite easily.
Can a fellow 20/2A owner confirm this is normal.
I have set up sme arms before so I know what I'm doing but I have never seen a 20/2A "in the flesh" to compare.
Thanks
Ian

Just looked at mine, yes over hangs the plinth by about a inch. Never really thought of it as a problem, I kind of like it for sylus cleaning.

The ball bearing tip is good. Also, try a better power cord on the motor controller. You'll be very surprised and happy. New belts seem to help it every year or two. I also have mine on a Symposium Ultra stand. It is sensative to what you place it on.

Good luck, great table !

You can spin the little round feet at the bottom to level. You should do this precisely...then...use the 3mm spacer to adjust the suspension posts. My 20/2 3 of the posts are about the same height, and one is about 1/3 inch higher...

Hope this helps...you may have to redo the leveling some...email me if you need more. Thanks
