That was a good idea about the pivot point under the chassis. I had other ideas that would have been more involved. Though I hope I would have thought of it eventually!! My Orbe leans a bit to the right, probably more than it should. And I think that many others do as well. My guess is that people have an issue but rely on the spring height adjuster to compensate for it and then figure that the rest is normal. I came across another example of this when looking into putting a Graham Phantom on my Orbe. Michell said no problem and Artech said it wasn't a good idea, too heavy. Many have done it and claim no issues. Few have said it's too heavy. The positive camp out numbererd the negative camp. Some are even using the original armboard and not using the lighter acrylic one that is needed!! I decided not to risk it and went with another TT so I could use the Phantom.
I think I will re-visit this now that the solution for determinig the balance will be easier. I will either add wieght to the other sides or remove weight from the armboard itself or adjust the distb. of weight on the subchassis. THANKS for the pic's!!
