Sure, we're talking about $500 B-60 replica, i have never owned the original but it's too expensive anyway. I must admit the price for the original B-60 is absolutely crazy, for the price of that original part alone i bought the whole NOW Lustre GST-801 tonearm with similar base with VTA on the fly!
The screw in B-60 replica is made of steel (just like the whole replica), the diameter of the "nose" of the screw is 1.9 mm but the slot in the inner part of the base is slightly bigger, anyway the difference is tiny.
However, the horizontal play between the arm and the base is big when the arm is attached everything is tightened. It is not acceplable for me, because i owned many tonearms and none of them have any play between the arm and the base. This problem with B-60 and 64s is easy to fix as i described.
Hammering the screw "nose" from the top (this part does not have a thread on it) is easy, but must be proceed carefully. We're talking about a very tiny difference, so it's not a big deal. No need for the new screw. As i said the problem fixed and my FR64s in B-60 replica sits perfectly (no play between the parts anymore).
