Straight Tone Arms?!?

hey

do any of you's know how to set up the needles on straight tone arms?
i know that on standard arms you set them up so that the point of the needle is 15mm away from the front of the centre spindle, but on straight tone arms the needle wont even reach the centre spindal, so where abouts do you position the needle?

do you just put it as far forward as possible?

cheers

i think overhang on a straight arm is supposed to be 50mm.

you can angle the cartridge inward 23degress (i think) to make play/sound like S shape tonearm.
