Stylus tip---------spindle....common? AKA My Mission.

planarboy · 6th June 2008, 12:34 PM

Hi folks,
Is the distance between the tip of a stylus and the centre of the spindle a common law?
I don't even know that distance, in millimetres, please! lol
The reason, I just scored a Mission 774LC tonearm for $120AU, alright price, and since I have access to cnc, why not put it to work straight away on a two arm rega knockup? for fun.
One on the left, one on the right. Yes I would have to get out of my recliner to lift the one on the left, but it's not about that is it?
Allow me to look at it another way and ask differently:
Rega distance is 219.5-222mm between the holes, we all know which ones, would it be the same for the mission tonearm?
After this I have a complete tube headphone system, and a completeish solid state headphone system, one day I'll post photos.

Hi,

Stylus overhang is not fixed. 774LC uses Linn, not Rega geometry.
