I’ve had this arm sitting about for a while now so decided yesterday since I now have plenty of free time to set it up for mono (SPU) duties on my Dais
Everything went well until I got to mounting the SPU ,the Azimuth is out of line slightly :scratch:
Obviously there’s no azimuth adjustments on the SPU but I did notice 2 tiny screws right at the end of the arm wand and wonder if that is what these are for ?
They seem really tight so I thought I’d ask if anyone has been in the similar position with one of these broadcast arms

Yes, you can adjust the azimuth if you slacken these screws. At least this is true for AT-1503 which seems to be the same arm for all intents and purposes. But they are very tight indeed. I almost stripped one of them on my tonearm.

Thanks Pavel
Managed to loosen one but the other is very very tight , don’t want to strip it

Try to gently heat it with a hair dryer.
