    I scored an original equipment stylus overhang gauge for my Mitsubishi LT-5V vertical table. It wasn't absolutely necessary as I knew the dimension from headshell mount edge to stylus tip (50mm). Also, the stylus on linear arms should be at centerline of spindle so, technically, there is no spindle centerline overhang like with a pivoted arm. But it does make cartridge setup easier on the removable headshell. It's also nice to have all the accessories that were provided with the table.

    WOW Richee!!! Very nice to see the table running perfectly. A work of art!

    Are you bringing that table to my house in the trunk of your car? ;)

    Nice Rich. My buddy had a Mitsubishi vertical table like that. I always liked it and wished I had one.

    I'm bringing a Harmon Kardon ST-8! Wait until Ed sends me a nicer cartridge for it, and I'll set up for you. :D

    I brought the Mitsubishi LT-5V upstairs to watch it play rekkids and the strobe LED's were out! I measured voltage, got some low readings for four LED's in series and feared a circuit issue (transistors/resistors). I panicked and got Ken involved as I'm not as sharp as I used to be. He was much nicer than my old bosses, Bruce and Joe (he didn't say stupid richee!) but got me to look wider instead of that narrow minded panic mode.

    I removed and tested the LED's and a couple were bad. I replaced the four 3mm LED's and all is well!

    Well maybe we should discuss! :D

    One on epay for $800! :o The local Disc Replay has one for $300. It's boxed up so I couldn't look it over.

    Nice. Been looking (not very hard) for one for my LT20 and LT30. Both need a little love to get them running though, and cartridge setup isn't the issue for either!

    About driving me crazy. I had an AT&T survey for U-Verse, and I made sure to identify all of the channels that only have ^^^^.

    OMG, I have never seen so many spam emails with ^^^^.

    Hi Jay! The Technics style gauges are easily obtained although they are 52mm. One can carefully sand/file end or scribe a line at 50mm, if that is the spec.

    The other must haves for linear arms with no VTA adjustment are cartridge shims. Cartridge height varies. The Harmon Kardon ST-8 with Rabco linear arm align tool also had a stylus height incorporated into the stylus align gauge as well. My LT-5V manual provides stylus height off flat surface in the manual (18mm or 11/16"). You add or subtract shims to get proper VTA.

    Ed's ST-8 had a .055" shim on the arm, but three other thickness that were originally supplied are missing. Unless he has that stuff squirreled away in his treasures. :D

    Shims from ebay. These are .015" each x 4. The light color ones are tapered, .0145" to .015."

    The 1950-1970 era the smell was possibly a combination of cattle and lead smelting.
    No particular odor these days, unless you drive by Warren Buffett's very modest home, you can smell money.

    In 1955 Omaha overtook Chicago as the World's Largest Meatpacking Center.

    Lead was smelted on the riverfront for 125 years.

    This is the Hisashimichi interchange. It's a Japanese highway junction, made with minimum loss to Environment. This is a seriously impressive engineering masterpiece situated in Hachioji, near Tokyo, Japan.
