The acrylic overhang template coming with your
UNI-Protractor set enables you to measure direct
overhang of your tonearm.
Take the tt-spindle adapter suitable for your
turntables spindle and put it over your spindle.
Place the overhang template over the spindle on
top of your spindle adapter.
Turn it around the spindle till it’s scale is in line
with an imagined line pointing to the pivot of
your tonearm.
Every turntable’s spindle has a different length
and the one pictured here is very long. Most likely
the overhang template will fit on your spindle
with very little of the spindle (if any) will point
out of the template.
You can swing the tonearm direct over the spindle
now.
Don’t lower your turntable’s cueing device !
By viewing from the side you may already spot
the point on the scale direct under the stylus.
That is the overhang value for the current
alignment of your tonearm.
If the overhang template does cover your spindle,
you may lower your tonearm till the stylus rests
on the scale. That reading will be more accurate.
