VPI Classic

I recently purchased a VPI Classic and a Benz Micro Gullwing SLR. I am having a problem with the tonearm. When I play a record the tonearm wobbles back and forth. I had my dealer look at it, and they are not sure what is causing this problem. We looked at two other VPI's and they looked rock solid while playing compared to mine. I have tried calling VPI numerous times to see what they have to say regarding this issue, but have not been able to get through to them on the phone.

I have tried adjusting VTF from 1.9 to 2.1 with no change to the wobble. I have tried adjusting the Azimuth numerous time, and it still wobbles. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this normal? This is my first unipivot, so I am not sure if this is typical.

......,Changing to a flat record may be (sorry i m joking)
This should not happen , you have the 10,5 or the 9 inch arm i suppose, as it is a unipivot i dont see the problem , the arm maybe to high on the back but youve tried that already.
Is the table positioned stable and flat (measuretool) and are the srews of the arm tightened, i would try another cartridge then and see what happens .
Do you have the table standing on a wobbly floor?
