RB300 with broken finger lift

I bought a new P-25 with the rb-600 tonearm.
The finger lift was broken off when I opened the box.
I caller Lauerman Audio who at the time was the Rega importer.
Steve told me this is a problem with all Rega arms.If you look at the finger lift where it meets the arm,you will notice a indentation around the finger lift.This is where they break off.
Steve sent me a new arm that arrived unbroken.
I've read a tweak to the Rega arms is to saw off the finger lift as a measureable vibration emits from the finger lifts.
If the bearings are OK then I wouldnt be overly concerned with a broken finger lift,although I was. :~)
Rega (and others) need to sell their tables with the tonearm OFF the table and properly boxed to prevent this and other problems (bearings coming loose)

Rmn4- I bought my table/arm brand new and was upset the lift was broken off.
I didnt read until later about the 'cut the lift off' tweak.
I still didnt cut it off as I was planning on reselling it in the future.
What do you mean by "correct grammar an be so snooty sounding"?
