Thanks for the intel Mark. I took the platter apart and looked at the spindle and the bearing. After reassembly I used a small spirit level and slowly cranked on the clamp until the lp was level. I was applying too much force.
VPI clamping system design flaw?
Heres a question for all of the VPI guys and gals on agon... with the VPI HW19, the clamping system leaves the record on a positive camber towards the spindle, is there a diffrent setuo that resolves this problem? VPI offers a number of upgraded clamps for this series of table but offers no detail about what the benefits are. Is this a design flaw? I now understand the appeal of a vaccum platter.
