Last_....the thickness of the record will not affect the azimuth. Use a Fozgometer and its test record. Use the small screw to adjust azimuth...screwing it down moves the head of the arm clockwise, and v/v. You must make sure there is weight on that small screw that scrapes against the metal plate. Rotate the rear counterweight to the right which will twist the arm adding pressure to the plate....then adjust for optimal azimuth. My small screw is slightly undersized and so did not maintain the correct adjustment. Use purple Locktite...only a small drop will do on that screw....when dried, it can still be manipulated, with a bit of force....just what you want.
VPI 2nd pivot point set up question
So I ordered the VPI second pivot point and I was reading up on how to set it up. However I do have a question when you set the pressure of the point on the little pad you are setting it to a specific record of a specific thickness and this will affect your final azmuth as I understand it. So let’s say you set it to a thicker 180 g record and then change to a thinner record will not the pressure point on the pad now be set to a lighter (or higher?) pressure and now won’t the azimuth be off?
