VTF measurments with a unipivot
Actusreus, you can always measure the distance from the plinth to the record surface, take the platter off the table and build a platform out of playing cards to hold your digital scale to equal the playing surface height desired. Not sure if ther... 
VTF measurments with a unipivot
Since the difference in vtf between a 120g ad 180g record is less than 2% do we really care? Since VPI arms lack fine and repeatable vtf adjustment the issue becomes a moot point. 
Best way to pack and ship a Linn LP 12
Go on the net and download an old LP12 manual, it has packing instructions. It's pretty straight forward once you remove the amrm, plexi cover, and platter. 
VTF measurments with a unipivot
Don't you start with the manufacturer's suggested vtf and then adjust by ear? Why the need to know the exact vtf to the nth gram?

The best advice I can give you is to call Bobby at Merlin, he will take care of you. 
Refinishing Merlin speakers
Which model, the gloss or flat finish? Either finish would be hard to improve upon, especially the high gloss automotive finish. 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
Vicdamone, you need to prove that the dealer was negligent in their actions and their actions alone caused the problem. Sending the amp for repair estimates and filing a claim in small claim court does nothing to further the OP cause unless you ca...

Audiogon member "Renjy651" has commented on this thread that he does ML cap replacements and has access to equivalent or better caps than the original ML caps. 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
Levinson WOLL NOT provide replacement caps and/or schematics to anyone other than their 2 authorized repair depots. Even is this dealer wanted to help out his customer, his hands are tied as he cannot get replacement parts or any cooperation from ... 
Denon 103 output--Step-up needed?
My first Denon was a 103D purchased in 1981. To the best of my knowledge, the 013 never came in a high output version just the LOMC.Perhaps your old phono stage could accomodate LOMC?? 
How do I connect my turntable to my Macbook for re
Unless "audacity" can convert an analogue signal to digital you will need to find a way to convert the turntable's analogue signal to an acceptable digital format. 
VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video
My VPI counterweight weighs 150g; the CI weights about 20g. Rotating a 20g drop down weight around a fixed axis will allow for a finer azimuth adjustment than rotating a 150g weight. If you are a person who likes to adjust their azimuth to the nth...
