125 Horizontal tracking angle (HTA)
adjustment
Place the tonearm into the armrest and release
the two base clamp nuts, using a snugly fitting
screwdriver.
Move the base on the bedplate as far forward
as it will go.

With a record on the turntable, place the
alignment protractor onto the record spindle.
Check that the VTF has been set to suit the
cartridge in use. A small cross indicates the
stylus position on the protractor. Move the arm
out of the armrest and place it so that the stylus
enters the indent formed at the centre of the
small cross, taking utmost care not to touch or
knock the tonearm. Move the base on the
bedplate backwards until, when viewed directly
from above, their outlines coincide.

Most cartridges have a stylus – fixing hole
dimension of 9.5mm. With these, the outlines of
the tonearm and protractor will coincide when
viewed directly from above the centreline of the
tonearm. With others according to the position
of the stylus, it will be necessary to view slightly
to the left or right of the centreline; the only
requirement for the correct HTA being that the
outlines appear to coincide as shown.
Replace the arm in the armrest and remove the
protractor.
