VPI owners.......

If you have the platter that has the three leveling set screws, ( mine is the HW-19 ) here's a free and accurate way to level/true the platter. Cut a business card on a gradual slope. As you slowly glide it under the platter while spinning, you'll hear/feel the contact. It's good to mark the point at which you're adjusting with a tape dot so you'll be adjusting from the same point each time. Sit back and enjoy.

@Slaw Balance is both the vertical and horizontal movement of the platter.

When a car tire is balanced the mechanic does not use runout.

Setting the platter by matching the dots works great, IMO, on my TNT Mk III.

I agree with Bpoletti, you are splitting hairs, no platter is perfect, horizontally or vertically.

@Slaw If you bought a used VPI and the previous owner screwed with the platter screws you are SOL! Better to buy new.
