VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video

I have the CI as well and it does make easy work of azimuth adjustments as well as small changes in TF. No regrets there. The one thing that concerns me is even though I run no twist for AS there is still some push from the cable just due to its stiffness. This causes the cantelever to not be quite parallel with the cart body as the cart body tends to lean towards the outside of the platter due to this small force. It is this condition that has me a bit baffled on how to set the alignment up.

Take a hair dryer set to low and heat up the VPI tonearm leads to relax the insulation. Once heated, you can create a nice neutral arc.

That is a really good suggestion Brf. I need to do that myself actually......

I just got a Super Scoutmaster Reference with the JMW12 arm.  I know, the 12" arm doesn't fit.  VPI made me a special arm board so it would.  This is the first turntable I've had in 20 years and now I remember why I switched to digital. 

I'm a fairly handy guy and have set up my share of tables.  What a PITA this is to get it all exactly right.  I think I have it reasonably close for now but I'd pay someone that knows how to do this $100 a hr to make a house call.  The dealer roughed it in but in all honesty since he sells primarily used stuff I am sort of on my own to figure out how to make it sing.
Any VPI experts in S. FLA want to make a quick $100 or so, LOL?
