My lifter bacame wonky, so I got a repelacment from a friend who works on VPI's.
Put the new one on, and put a record on. Instinctively, I cue the arm and drop the lever... THE STYLUS SLAMS DOWN ON THE RECORD!
A close inspection reveals the replacement isn't hydraulic, but a cheap cam mechanism. Did VPI slip in some budget cuttting in some runs? I have to carefully lower the lever slowly to prevent another crash.
