Infinity Black Widow mounting adjustment

[fmjunkie]

Hey guys. I'm working on a Thorens 126 MKII for a friend and it has an Infinity Black Widow tonearm on it. From the owner's manual I found online, the arm board appears to be drilled correctly, but the armtube and tonearm rest are not aligned parallel to the armboard. Instead the arm is at about a 25 degree angle so the "headshell" is nearly over the outer platter when it is installed.

On a lot of tonearms, there is some sort of set-screw for adjustments. There is a set screw to adjust the VTA, but it screws into a slot on the side of the arm pillar. I can't find any other adjustment screws that might re-align the arm.

Any suggestions for those of you that are familiar with this arm?

It's possible that the cue platform is not long enough to pick up the arm at the end
of the record if the arm is rotated so that it is parallel to the side of the table base.
That's likely why the arm is rotated to near the edge of the platter.

The position of the arm at rest doesn't affect the stylus alignment.
That's done by sliding the entire arm horizontally in the SME style base.
