Re: Standard D Horizontal carriage set up questions

The issue has to do with the Diamond B reproducer. The model c works fine in the horizontal carriage. The model H has not been tested in the horizontal carriage yet, but I can’t see why it should not work properly. I’ll give it a try tonight and report back.startgroove wrote:The photo below shows the angle that a Model C or H needle should be with respect to the record. I've compared four of those and they all seem to be about the same, except one which has a little more angle favoring the needle end, of the needle bar. All of the those play fine on all the records I tried. None of these were mounted in a horizontal carriage, but the angle should be the same nonetheless.
If your H needle does not look like this when resting on a record, you can adjust the angle of the bar by tweeking the length of the link between the end of the needle bar and center eye of the diaphragm.
Hopefully this will help you. Cheers, Russie.
Thanks again for all the help.
