Hi Nicola, I don't seem to have that problem with mine. But I would be interested to learn whether others have a had an experience similar to yours. Is there only one source, or are these replica B60s coming from more than one fabricator? I bought mine about 2 years ago from an eBay vendor who was either in Hong Kong or somewhere close by.
Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA?
My sammle moved not only up an down but also sidewards.
The reason as far as I can judge is the pin on the screw
which connect the inner and the outer collar. The inner collar
slides along this pin up and down but if there is
any play between this pin and the notch of the inner collar
the tonearm will move also sidewards. This means that the
'replica' is not as 'exact' as claimed by the producer.
I assume that this screw is better made by the orginal B-60 .
