[Phono-L] Columbia 122 angle correct?

[Chris Kocsis]

There is something wrong.  Regardless of whether it is the correct tone 
arm for the machine, or the correct reproducer, the shaft of the needle 
must be straight up and down when viewed from the front.   It should 
never lean into the groove at a sideways angle.  Period.
