Thom et al, Since I am thinking of re-mounting my Triplanar on a new tt, I have just re-read this thread. I came to Thom's post, where he says the following: "My point is that even the metal jig should not be trusted, because of sample to sample variance in the mounting flange's orientation." The metal jig that I own has at one end a tiny spring-loaded inverted cup that fits over the bearing screw, right at the pivot point, and at the other end it has a hole that fits over the spindle. It would seem to me that this device eliminates any issues related to the variation in the orientation of the mounting flange. All one needs to verify is that the distance between the geometrical center of the cup at one end and the spindle hole at the other end is equal to 233.5mm (which I surely plan to do). What am I missing?
Triplanar Problem
Dear All - I'm having an issue mounting my Triplanar VII on an Avid Acutus - Essentially, arm (when in armrest) sits very near rim of platter (1 inch from record cueing position)- I've checked geometry of Avid armboard/ Triplanar with jig and appears OK. It's a used example and Just returned from Joe at Discovery in Florida after a rewire - It's as though armrest in wrong position (but looks fine - if that makes sense!) I wanted a Triplanar to go with my Zyx Universe (sold SME V as accurate VTA adjustment almost impossible) Am I being an eejit and missing something simple? Does large bolt (or small grub screw underneath VTA tower) allow any lateral adjustments to move arm 3 inches laterally to a "normal" resting position? Any help from Triplanar Jedis to a Padawan would be Gratefully received
