Just make sure the pointy thing is resting in the middle of the cup. There is a slight joint edge inside that the point may catch on.
Help setting up JMW tone arm
This is my first hi end turntable. A Scoutmaster. It has the JMW9 tone arm. I have assembled the turntable according to the manual. I am unsure of the tonearm set up. I have installed the cartridge, but when I mount the arm onto the pointed bearing, it's very "wobbly". There's a lot of play in the arm. It feels to me the arm is not mounted properly on the bearing. Does anyone know of a visual guide other than purchasing Michael Fremer's DVD?
