Hi,
Don't overlook the Thorens TD124 or Lenco TT's if you come across them in your search for the Garrards.

did you mean over ?.. I noticed that the position of the stylus was directly under the Idler wheel.
did you mean over ?
yes the position exactly diametrically opposite o the idler/motors position is what i found best to. thats why mounting 2 arms on a lenco might not be a good idea.
Even I am toying with going back to separate base for my lenco. currently it is on the plinth and that position comes near the motor...so am sure it can eb bettered !
If rumbling came idler must have been engaged. If idler was engaged platter must have been rotating. If platter was rotating did you still manage to place stethoscope on the rotating platter? That is some feat.
I have successfully made my second arm pod from a tonearm of unknown entity which I picked up from Chennai when I went for the recent HiFi meet.I still need to do a little more work on it but it sounds very warm and engaging on a recently purchased Dual 1019 which has one of the strongest phono motor I have seen. I am using a Pickering V 15 cartridge. I have also taken the connection from the tonearm wire directly to the RCA cord bypassing any junction and this I've found reduces any loss due to the junction. I have been doing this with many players of late and this certainly enhances the sound reproduction. The tone arm is a no nonsense tonearm with no anti-skating, arm lift and a counter weight which can be used upto 8 grams! Obviously a very old one. If anyone can identify the tonearm from the picture, i would appreciate
I never bother with overhang nor effective length when I align on the accutrack protractor. I think it all results in the same result IMO. correct me if I am wrong
