Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue


Just got a new Brinkmann Bardo. It was a snap to put the Tri-Planar am to the arm board drilled for this arm.

I measured the spindal to pivot distance of 233.5mm with my Feickert Protractor and set up the cartridge with the MintLP.

The issue I have is when I put down the arm, the arm will touch the arm rest and not fall at the beginning of the first track. By touching the arm rest, the arm is bump to several groove from the beginning of the track 1. I did try to fix this issue for the arm rest being too close to the platter by turning the armpod but without success if I want to keep the right S2P distance. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I would appreciate any comment/help.

Whoever sold you the table should have come to your home to set it up, including full cartridge alignment, at no additional cost. At almost any level of purchase I would expect that.
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.
