INSTALLATION & SETUP
CONT.
SPINDLE TO MAIN PIVOT DISTANCE (OVERHANG)
Overhang is adjusted by positioning the main pivot in
relation to the turntable spindle.
The Cobra uses an offset crossarm that holds the main
pivot. This crossarm can be rotated in a shallow arc that
allows for variances in turntable plinth designs.
The optimum distance from pivot to spindle is 221.7 mm.
Viewing the platter from above (Plan View) use a metric
ruler to measure from the spindle to the main arm pivot
(located on the crossarm) a distance of 221.70mm.
Next tighten the 8mm Hex Head Overhang Locking Screw
using a 6mm Allen Key. Do not overtighten. This screw
compresses the main arm mount and the main arm body
which holds the crossarm and pivot. Once this screw
is tightened the overhang is firmly set. This setting is
maintained even when you are adjusting the VTA.
