VPI Scout JMW 9 owners help needed

Thanks for the input.

The 2 set screws for VTA are tight, but the tip can be pulled up and down by 1/8" or so. I don't think it will create any problem since arm's weight will keep it down, but better safe than sorry.

As for the tip, I was very careful when setting my cartridge up and never exerted down force on the arm. I don't think I heard any audible difference, but then I don't know how long the tip has been "bened". No the magnifier is not very high quality, but I can see the tip slightly bend from any angles.

Guess I better give VPI a call?

Everyone at VPI was on Vacation all of last week, however they return on Tues 8/24 so give em a call.

For those of you who have similar problem, it is NOT normal.

Those nice guys at VPI will either swap you a new one if you want to ship it back (just the base, not the whole table) or you can glue it back yourself with a drop of super glue.
