    Good idea, Chris!

    I'll measure my own kit up properly this time before I send it back to Steve!

    Well, this is a bit OT.

    They are satisfactory so far. On 30 day trial - 2 days in. A fair bit of running in on these brand new speakers I should think, but they seem satisfactory so far. To say the least.

    ...holy sheet,
    I made a mistake reading the caliper .

    The correct diameter size of the back of the tonearm is 13.84 mm.
    I checked it again right now, and it's the same value for both the tonearms of the SL 1210 M5G & MK5 (the MK5 has the same tonearm of MK2).

    Lesson learned: never do stuff like this after an heavy day of work.

    Sorry to everybody.
    Giovanni.
