"I can fix it Grampa"
I was asked in another thread to show my method of setting the VTA on these arms, I thought I would just start a new thread so it might be easier to find.
All you need to do this is a deck of cards and a 2mm allen wrench, you will find the allen head screws on the base of the TA at 12:00 and 3:00 as you are looking from the top front of the deck, shown here from the top, loosen these until you can slide the TA up and down in the collar,
Eyeball the TA until it is approximately level, slide the required amount of cards between the collar and the base of the TA, tighten the screws and take a listen.
You can repeat this and add or remove one or two cards at a time until you reach the desired sound, then either count how many cards you are using or measure the stack, you now have a repeatable measurement to work from rather than blindly moving the TA up and down!
