VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video

You are both right. I like and use the CI and I also agree with Stringreen that the same results can be achieved without the CI. If you have an older VPI arm without the end stub allen key VTF adjustment, the CI becomes more useful.

I kinda like the CI. I think setting azimuth and VTF is frustrating. The CI makes it a lot easier to zero in on where you want to be. Hey Stringreen, you and I share the same views 99.9% of the time. I think the CI costs about 65 or 75 bucks. Why not give it a try. If you already have and still don't think it's that big a deal -- I can respect that.

My point is that there are those that think Harry didn't notice or care that to require the rear counterweight to do 2 things with little efficiency of duty is not to credit him with a well thought out product bearing the name of his son. The CounterIntitive may be useful to some....they should support it. I, myself don't see the need for it. I presumed those with inadequate knowledge of VPI arm setup procedures (that the rear counterweight is easily moved around its center without damage, and that the internal counterweight is easily adjusted via the
Allen wrench inserted into the back of the arm) would appreciate the knowledge herein provided. Zei Gazundt.

Stringreen,

Are you seriously bringing Harry's dead son into this discussion to support your argument? That's disturbing.

My dear gentlemen, I think this discussion is over. Have a super great day.
