If you wish to persist in this neurotic behavior then, yes, buy a Jelco with the adjustable VTA!
VTA for Sumiko tonearm?
Hello all,
I have a sumiko ft-3 tonearm on my VPI. Both were bought used. The sumiko, I noticed a while ago, doesn't have a VTA. Is there a place I can get one? Sumiko themselves do not make parts for the tonearm anymore. Or, should I invest in a new tonearm, like a jelco or something like that. What would be more inexpensive?

The FT-3 had an "on-the-fly" (although it was far from it, pretty jerky movement) adjustment. So it had a base base for mounting the tonearm in and then a secondary locking collar that had the VTA assembly on it. here is a picture: https://www.hifido.co.jp/sold/12-71621-71059-00.html?LNG=E Which piece are you missing? |
