Turn table set up

Does anyone know how I go about finding someone to set up my tt? I thought I could do it, no way. Scoutmaster VPI. When I set the arm on pivot it sits an inch above the arm rest. The arm lift doesnt even touch the arm when I raise it. I don't have a stylus force gauge either...I'm so bummed

If all else fails Neyloj2, you might contact the Los Angeles Audio Society. They are a huge group with many mfgs and retailers as members. I feel certain that someone could get you expert advice.

Brooks Berdan LTD in Monrovia, Ca. is the go to guy for expert table setup. BTW other dealers even turn to Brooks at times for complex turntable issues. Business no. 626 359 9131.

Hifigary is correct. Brooks is a great dealer to contact. BTW, he is a member of the Los Angeles Audio Society.

I'm close enough to Apple Valley that I would be glad to help. I'm actually going to be in SoCal next week.

You will definitely find the help you need at Brooks Berdan as well.

Thank you all for the support. I think I actually have it close to correct. I did the jig again and moved the weight forward about 5mm. The sound that the Van den Hul mc10 produces amazes me. I won't play anymore records until my force gauge arrives. I hear thats an important step in the process. I called Brooks and he's closed until Saturday. If your around Clio maybe you can stop by and make sure I'm set up ok. Thanks again
