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

Fremer is right on this, it ain't rocket science, but does require a little manual dexterity, mechanical sense, and being able to hear changes through the system in question. And, a scale! Among other tools. :-)
Hi and thanks again. I live in Apple Valley southern California. The jig did not allow the arm to move freely, I think I have to remove the rubber ring on the platter first. I ordered a force gauge. Listened to a 180 gram brand new record. Loads of pop and cracle and highs were distorded. I'll wait for the gauge to show up.
If all else fails Neyloj2, you might contact the Los Angeles Audio Society. They are a huge group with many mfgs and retailers as members. I feel certain that someone could get you expert advice.
Brooks Berdan LTD in Monrovia, Ca. is the go to guy for expert table setup. BTW other dealers even turn to Brooks at times for complex turntable issues. Business no. 626 359 9131.
Hifigary is correct. Brooks is a great dealer to contact. BTW, he is a member of the Los Angeles Audio Society.
