VPI Prime Scout 21 Tone arm adjustment

I have the VPI Primte Scout 21 which I do like very much , however I wish I could adjust the tone arm better

so it would lift off the album and could be lowered completely down onto the album. Due to medical issues my hands shake so placing the arm on the album and removing it can be a tricky chore for me. Any suggestions ? As of right now the arm lowers just above the album, it doesn't go completly down which is a bummer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks, Robert

No I haven't. I dont think I have the appropiate tool for that. What type of tool would be needed ? thank you for the help

It's a hex head grub screw. A common American Standard Allen wrench will work. I believe the size is 1/16".

Hey Robert, sorry to hear about the situation in general and hoping I can help streer you through soem options. First, I have to recommend a gimbal over a uni pivot in this case. Much easier to handel and use especially if your hand shakes. Also in regards to the arm lifter, check your height adjustment to make sure you have enough clearance. Otherwise if it is slow it might be the fluid inside is a bit locked up and needs to get worked in or adusted a bit. Do you have to push the lifter down for it to make contact? Talk soon!

Hey @Robert B sorry you had that experience and (unless I'm mistaken by and unexpected building changes) that bumper should have been there. Perhaps it somehow got missed on our end, or accidently knocked off in transit... either way I'm glad with the help of @Brf you were able to get it working. If you want to email us a picture to clarify and we can help guide you with it or send you over a more proper bumper for the arm. info@vpiindustries.com

I just checked online for photos of the turntable and no, mine does not have that rubber padding. How do I go about getting one ?

Hey @Robert B email us your address and we can mail you one. Might fit a bit better than what you put together and may help fix up the situation. Thanks and looking forward to getting you all squared away!
