Fidelity Research FR-64x
I have recently received a FR 64s as well along with the B-60 and a FR 7f cartridge.I had to make a new bore in an arm board to accommodate it and have yet to mount it. It is ready to go --so I will be interested in your comments for geometry and ...

FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms
Thanks for the tips  @lewm   @ddriveman  and @nandric I have the Smart Tractor. I'm not sure what the appeal is for the mint - its difficult to use. The wally scribed templates are much better for this type - alas they won't be available again. 
FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms
This thread still propagates. I have just purchased a FR 64s.@lewm ,@syntax with your experience what PS overhang and geometry are you using with this arm? No head shell with it but I do have the VTA lifter. I've ordered a Jelco to get started and...
