Three of the four corners of the floating sub-chassis have individual weights attached. The fourth corner carries the armboard/arm and contains the pocket underneath for the lead shot, to be added in an effort to balance all 4 corners level with the upper chassis. The underside of the sub-chassis uses four long bolts which may also be used to level the sub-chassis by screwing or un-screwing them individually.
Sota Star Sapphire suspension question
Hey all; I picked up a beautiful Sota that has all the upgrades I would want. I'm coming from a VPI Scout and setup for the Sota is quite different. It has a ET 2 Arm. I have 2 questions, but if you have any comments please share. Initially I had the rubber feet screwed all the way up "locking" the sub chassis. I figured out I had to let the chassis go free. The arm board/arm side is lighter then the left motor side, is the where I load it up with lead to balance? Also, I tried my Benz SL and no matter what tracking force, the angle/weight are too heavy and distort my needle so I went back to a Dyn 20. Any thoughts on that. Also, I get no vacuum from the vac unit, I looked inside and it's clean but nada. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance. Jack
