One of the articles said that the needle needs to have 45 degree to a record, but the accompanied picture had the angle far from 45, more like 60 degrees.
Is it 45, or is it like in the picture?

The instruction booklet for my VV-XI specifies a 60º angle. This is the approximate angle formed when the Exhibition sound box is installed on the goose neck, as determined by the locating pin on the back flange. Whoever said 45º was probably just guessing.

The missing 15 degrees have been added to the article's text. Many thanks for the helpful correction.

I missed the Wayne show. Where else I can see a gramophone?
