Turn table set up


Does anyone know how I go about finding someone to set up my tt? I thought I could do it, no way. Scoutmaster VPI. When I set the arm on pivot it sits an inch above the arm rest. The arm lift doesnt even touch the arm when I raise it. I don't have a stylus force gauge either...I'm so bummed

Thank you all for the support. I think I actually have it close to correct. I did the jig again and moved the weight forward about 5mm. The sound that the Van den Hul mc10 produces amazes me. I won't play anymore records until my force gauge arrives. I hear thats an important step in the process. I called Brooks and he's closed until Saturday. If your around Clio maybe you can stop by and make sure I'm set up ok. Thanks again
Unfortunately won't be around this weekend. However, feel free to email me offline and maybe can exchange numbers. I've walked a few people over some of the simpler aspects of set-up over the phone. Glad you're making progress on your own though. If you nail it you will have achieved a sense of accomplishment and learned a valuable skill that will be useful in the future.
Nice table i have one myself , take the imbus screwtool unlock the VTA tower which consists of a ring you then can rotate down what will in turn make the arm drop, you still need a gauge though , its not hard to set up and if you buy a digital scale you can fine tune by yourself at ease.
The manual is somewhat confusing about arm height. I'm still researching this subject. Not sure what the correct height is. I'm still waitng on my stylus force gauge to arrive, its digital.
Dont worry the discussion/research about the correct height of the arm will last as long as humankind itself, its easy to experiment with , it doesnt cost any money and you cant break anything.
