Just need the specs on the arm to get the spindle to pivot distance.

Jim, does this help???

I think your pretty much stuck needing a 12” effective length tonearm for that ROK

16” transcription records, anyone?

I kept 1, just for show. The rest I chucked. Not many 16" tables anymore. Mine is but I haven't seen many

Here is a quick review on my table.

I have a ROK CVS16, actually a clone of the Technics SL series, made in China by Hanpin. Three speed, aluminum “pie pan” platter with direct drive, crummy tonearm with no VTA adjustment, “outrigger” anti-skate. Switch for reverse rotation and vertically recorded (Edison diamond discs) records. Not really pleased with it, but plays almost any record (not 16 2/3 though). Plays 16” records, I have five in my collection.

In retrospect, I should have gone with one of the original ROKs, and look for a cutting lathe to go with it (for the hell of it).

I scored the original Rolling C-7 Console for it too. These usually got tossed so it's rarer than the table.

A lot of people have worn out 1side of the album and the other side is like new

Yep. 10-1/2” spindle to pivot. Just scribe an arc/circle exactly-ish 10-1/2” from the spindle and drill your mounting hole anywhere you like on that arc/circle.

Yeah, but what size arm can I then use for the second position? What do I need to consider?

Got a Reckless Kelly mix going at a healthy volume. Time to blow out the ear wax.

I thought that was the arm you wanted to mount… need specs for the arm you want to mount then go through the same exercise.

Y’know… I liked the songs on the other side, too!
Good album, but (OPINION!) this was their only good album. I didn’t like anything else they put out.

As I said, my table has the same arm as Kyles, I am kicking around adding a newer style arm.

I really like that Pickering arm he posted the video of.

The Rega arm and Micro arms mount at 222mm (8.74”) spindle to pivot distance. To give an idea.

An Idea to what? Are you saying those are too short? Thanks Jim

Infinity Black Widow. Make some of the table green and very steam punk. Or keep it original and add a Pickering.

It has the Pickering 190D which it came with. I was just contemplating putting a second arm on it since it has a shitload of real estate.
