How a nickel can make a valuable improvement

I have a very slight out of level floor. When I replaced my VPI feet with the Eden Sound Bear Paws the right side of my Super Scoutmaster needed to be raised very slightly to be dead on level while keeping the Bear Paws tight to the bottom of the table. I used a nickel coin under each brass point on the right side of the table. This levelled it out perfectly and worked like a charm! The table sits solid and turntable and platter are exactly level for better focus and soundstage.

Bearpaws are threaded on...surely you could have saved all that money by adjusting those paws properly.

Sberger...My Bearpaws came with threads, and also with threaded brass washers. I threaded two of the threaded washers between the Bearpaws themselves and and the bottom of the turntable. I leveled the turntable exactly using a carpenters level by rotating the Bearpaw which raised/lowered them on their threads, then tightened one of the brass washers against the turntable, and then tightened one of the brass washers against the Bearpaw. This provides a very tight connection and a spectacular upgrade.

I was just going to tell you to ask for those washers. I'll be looking forward to your report.
