VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP......

Something is most likely stripped if hand tightning is not working with the use of proper tool. Wait and call VPI and let them clear up the problem. I have a strange feeling they will have to look at it and make a parts replacment/send you a new part, or give you a new unit.

good luck

Medium strength Loctite available at Home Depot.Take the screws out completely and brush the threads clean with alcohol using an old toothbrush.Then place a drop of Loctite on them and torque them back in.Done for good.Loctite is not good for plastic parts though.Note that the medium strength Loctite is removable with excessive force .There is also a permanent Loctite but I wouldn't recommend it.That's what we use at work to install bolts.
Best of luck

Just to make a few thing clear here folks, The screw is not getitng loose that much. The Platter sits on a shaft that is rotated by the motor inside the VPI 17F, there are three screws that fix the platter onto the shaff, these 3 screws are on the top of the patter they just hold the platter.

Now the screws I am talking about are below this metal disk that holds the platter. The Disk has two screws and they are slipping.

I guess the information that I put upfront was not complete.

Called up VIP, they were stunned with this information. According the to them this is the only one that have heard.

They have asked it to be sent back so that they can look at it. Lets see what happens

Well, I am glad for you that VPI stands by their products, and let us know the outcome.
