Would tonearm with same pivot t9 spindl


Hi,

Trying to find a tonearm that easily fits into existing wooden armboard for lenco L75 with wooden plinth.

Current tonearm has pivot to spindle of 223mm.

If I find another 9.5 inch tonearm that is also 223mm is it likely to easily fit onto armboard 

Thinking of upgrading origin live illustrious mk3c to reed 3P

Thanks

Michael

Be careful, just because a tonearm has the same P2S distance doesn't mean it can use the same mounting hole location.  The pivot on the origin live illustrious mk3c is located in the middle of the arm mounting base which would correspond with the center of the mounting hole, whereas, the Reed's pivot is offset from it's mounting base which depending on the angle of the offset, will result in a different P2S distance.
