You are correct on the 1/8" or a bit less. The lever on the stanchion
can be tweaked to rest closer to the lever on the reproducer. Sometimes
tweaking is required to get any of those reproducers to lift far enough.
If you need them I can get measurements as I have all 3 machines.

I recently placed a 1A mechanism in a case and created what is a 2/4
Opera. With the M in 2 or 4 minute and the stylus on the record and the
machine stopped how far off the record can the stylus be lifted? On
most machines this is around 1/8 of an inch to allow for mandrel play.
The 1A bedplate is different from the Opera so I had an
Opera reproduction top brazed on a 1A stanchion. The first M I tested
out the stylus would barely raise off the record and the second M I
tested it would not raise off at all. I placed washers under the
stanchion and will make a shim.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have zero experience with the
Amberola 1, 3, or Opera.
Thanks,
Steve
