How much to setup a table??

So, I'm not sure if I set up my table correctly and wanted to ask our local dealer/tech to make a house call to set it up for me.

1. Are house calls standard protocol or will he look at me like I'm nuts?

2. What is a reasonable rate I should expect? $50? $20 + a few beers?

No, I didn't buy the table from the dealer but, I have bought a few things there in the past a few years ago. They know me because I always stop by to say, "Hi" and buy used vinyl from the owner on occasion.

thanx

Expect to pay anywhere from $45-75/hr plus travel time. Think of it as a repair call.

What makes you think you haven't setup the table properly? Is there some specific sonic aspect you think you're not getting? It's not like there is one perfect set of parameters to setup an analog combo. VTF, SRA, antiskate and other parameters all interact and any setup is a compromise of at least some of these factors. That's assuming you're not going to individually tweak every album you play.
