Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue

Here is the fix/adjustment (there is nothing wrong with the arm)

remove the arm from the armboard

You will find a large screw in the middle of the base of the arm. Loosen it and sort out where the arm rest should be. Tighten the screw and reinstall the arm.

This will have a minor effect on the anti-skate, probably for the better.

Acadie,
You might be good at setting up tables, but most people spending anything approaching what you did deserve and expect better service from the dealer.

I learn not to depend on a dealer to set up your analogue several years ago.

It's obvious you haven't found a capable dealer. See my comment above.

The issue has nothing to do with my dealer.

He always offered to set up my cartriges/arm/table over the years,even driving to my house to do so (the shop is approx 100 miles from where I live). But I decided that I had to learn how to do it myself.

It is a must to learn how to set up a turntable for someone to wants to be in analogue. With time, I became pretty good at it.

My issue has nothing to do on how to set up a table, I think it has more to do with the drilling of the armboard for the Tri-Planar.

I don't think there is anything wrong to be able to do it yourself.

As for service from my dealer, he always deliver to my door any equipment I will buy from him and help to set up (if it is heavy).

This may be your problem. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/tri-planar-tonearm-owner-alert

HI Pcosta

I read about this subject and contacted Tri Mai with this issue last year.

I am not the one who drill the holes for the armboard. I am able to get the right S2P by rotating the armboard on the Brinkmann.
