The small horizontal tube goes all the way thru the cap. Fish line is fed thru tube. It is then knotted and slipped back into the tube. The fish line is looped a couple of times around the aluminum machined collar that fits on the horizontal part of the gallows post. The twists I mentioned give the arm anti-skate compensation. The beauty part of this is when you rotate the machined collar back or forth by your fingers, you get a wide range of azimuth control in either direction. And you can do this on the fly to dial in perfectly. This is one of the most ingenious azimuth adjustors I have ever seen. I believe the end of the arm tube is flattened ever so slightly and the cartridge mount sets on it with one set screw. You can adjust zenith by loosening set screw and moving the cartridge mount either way. Mine came preset by factory and they say to leave it at the angle it is set at, although you can adjust it if you have to. I do not know what the factory angle of degrees it is set at. Would love to see the pics. Keep me posted.... Tim
Well Tempered Simplex arm and wiring
Does anyone know who makes the 5 pin arm wiring connector on the Well Tempered Simplex table, etc? The pins are smaller than most 55 pin connectors I've seen. I bought a WT Simplex plinth (platter and arm were missing) and I am modifying it for use with a self-made Simplex clone arm.
