I purchased an old SR-230 that is in great shape. I then purchased an AT95E cartridge for it, and proceeded to try and set the alignment. I printed off the Stupid Protractors from here, and proceeded with using the Baerwald alignment.I couldn't get the cart pushed forward enough to get it to align in both grids. (There's an old locked post regarding this same thing on same table.)

I then bought the Audio Technica headshell, and with the cart pushed almost all the way forward I get it to align at the null points. It is pretty far forward, and lines up in the grids perfectly. I then proceeded to print off the Kearns protractor, and using my tonearm length of 220*, lined it up in the grid and noticed it did not track on the 220 line, but more towards the middle of the group of lines. Should I see it tracking on the 220 line? (My guess is I don't really know how to properly use the Kearns arc....)
Should I swap back to the old headshell and try Stevenson's alignment grid, or should I stop overthinking this - and just leave it alone since it's lined up with Baerwald tools.
Sorry, I'm really new to this. I had a Pioneer system growing up back in the 70s and didn't care about any of this stuff. I just recently decided to mess around with records again because I was getting bored with my PC setup.
