Since the arm is already mounted why don't you raise it to see how high it goes? The platter you have now is 1 inch high,find out the height of the new platter and see what what the difference is,you might not be able to lower the dust cover. I tried this years ago with a mk4 platter and it never worked out. I suggest if you want to upgrade with out any hassel try to find a mk3 platter. Good luck!
HW19 jr arm spacers for SME IV with new platter?
Hello,
I recently came across a used VPI HW19jr in great shape with an SME armboard. I installed my new SMEIV and like the table so much that I will upgrade some parts including the stainless steel platter. The good folks at VPI say that if I do this I will quite possibly, have to add an arm spacer or a super armboard to raise the height of the arm. I have seen the classic platter's thickness and want to know if anyone has had this experience; do I need the spacers or does the SME arm have enough height adjustment to allow this to be done without the need for spacers.
