Of a Pioneer PL-41 tonearm? Bored, so I'm contemplating building a TT using my old JVC QL-50 drive unit and an old Pioneer arm I have laying around. I checked Vinyl Engine and found one mention of effective length on the PL-50 being 224mm. The arms for the PL-31, PL-41, and PL-50 are all very similar. Thanks for any suggestions.

The recommended setting is just that. RECOMMENED, no fixed. As long as it is near enough then it is good enough.
After fitment download the free Cartridge alignment gauge from Conrad Hoffman.

The best location for the tone arm base depends on the tone arm effective length and offset angle.
So for an existing tone arm, yes there is a best location for the base.
Yes, and when using the original Dennison Protatcor (lofgren A or B i believe) every one of the Pioneers had to have the cartridge twisted in the headshell to get them to align. Did sound better than the factory protractor.

The alignment issue seemed to be across ALL Japanese tables. Even the Grace 707 we sold literally 1000+ of needed headshell twisted.
