Sorry to hear Wally Malewicz passed away. I guess his health was lousy for many years, but the lucky few who got his "tractors" have by all accounts the best cartridge set-up tool available.
I ass-u-me you made provisions to adjust pivot to spindle vs pivot to stylus, and once you have that the dB grid seems to "work". As for azimuth, I suppose you can be sure the vertical pivot points are parallel to the platter and from there work at the headshell and/or cartridge.
What's up with "putting the rear of the arm down as far as possible"? The center line of the arm should be parallel with the platter.
Ultimate VTF will only be decided when the arm/cartridge geometry is finalized.
You can eff with loading forever!
Best regards,
Paul S
