Disclaimer: I cannot verify the accuracy of the above data.  The chart is offered as a reference only. (ed.)

--L = in mm effective length

--R = in mm mounting radius (spindle to pivot distance)

--U = in mm overhang

--K = headshell / tonearm angle in degrees

--Ri = zero horizontal tracking error at radius (inner)

--Ra = in mm, zero horizontal tracking error at radius (outer)

--Meff = in grams, effective mass

--Miscellaneous info:

TP-11 anti-skate weights: small = 0.6g.  large = 2g

Instructions for carrying out tonearm settings may be found in the manuals dept.  Explanations and definitions of tonearm geometry and settings may be found here: Alignment FAQ

Thanks to Dimitri Muskens for proving the above chart.  Thanks to Brian Eggleston for providing additional tonearm data.
