Thank you for your input. I'm getting a new counterweight to replace the defective one. I will use the synthetic oil and the newest grease available. Thank you once again.
VPI Super Scout Master questions/concerns
I purchased a used SSM table and have some concerns. Is the set screw in the counterweight a problem with others. I have to put some serious torque on the screw to get it to lock in place. In doing so it's difficult to keep the weight in position. This causes the setting to change, time and time again. This JMW9 is the Signature version. The counterweight came from the Original version arm. Are the counterweights the same? Have I got a defective counterweight? I would also like to know how to service the tables platter bearing & the flywheel bearing. How do you put oil/lube in the components? Thank you in adavance for your input.
