OK, after closer inspection I see that the separate armboard on my older TNT is not quite parallel with the plinth top. The platter top is parallel with the plinth top, but not with the armboard. Apparently elimination of the armboard on the Scout improves upon the early TNT in this regard. I don't think this small disparity in parallelism would affect performance of my Graham unipivot arm, but it might be a problem for arms with fixed azimuth or on which azimuth is not set by weights & gravity.
Turntable Leveling Question VPI Scout
I have a Vpi Scout on a Gingko Cloud 9 Platform. The Gingko model is the one where the turntable rest directly on the blue balls not the one with the top piece. The isolation cones of the VPI not not touch the Gingko base.
Do I place the bubble level directly on the acrylic platter to balance the turntable (it appears the platter in suspended on the spindle to some degree) or do I measure the balance on the turntable platform or the gingko base beneath it? I get differnt balance reading for each piece (platter,turntable platoform and gingko base)
