VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP......

I am running into problems constantly. The matt platter runs loose after cleaning 2 or 3 records at a time. I have to remove the matt platter and tighten the shaft screws. I am growign tired of this excercise. I was wondering if there is any thing that can be done to fix this issue.

I will also call up VPI and ask about this problem, and see that they have to say.

Medium strength Loctite available at Home Depot.Take the screws out completely and brush the threads clean with alcohol using an old toothbrush.Then place a drop of Loctite on them and torque them back in.Done for good.Loctite is not good for plastic parts though.Note that the medium strength Loctite is removable with excessive force .There is also a permanent Loctite but I wouldn't recommend it.That's what we use at work to install bolts.
Best of luck
