How a nickel can make a valuable improvement

I have a very slight out of level floor. When I replaced my VPI feet with the Eden Sound Bear Paws the right side of my Super Scoutmaster needed to be raised very slightly to be dead on level while keeping the Bear Paws tight to the bottom of the table. I used a nickel coin under each brass point on the right side of the table. This levelled it out perfectly and worked like a charm! The table sits solid and turntable and platter are exactly level for better focus and soundstage.

Monticello's main entrance- everyone inside should be able to hear the music. Stringreen, I decided to splurge and spend this enormous amount of money to keep the Paws tight up against the bottom of the table.

I would prefer to use brass, but doesn't that washer type have a hole in the center? I need to have a flat solid spacer the same thickness as a nickel so the spiked end can rest in the middle.

That's a great suggestion! I'll look into getting brass washers. Thank you.

The Bearpaws should all be screwed tight up against the bottom of the table. See which foot/feet need a shim- I used a nickel under each footer only on the right side of the table to eliminate movement and bring table to level. Try a dime under each foot if a nickel is too thick. Use a good level to check for exact level front to back and side to side.

Cinellipro, do you have the parts number for the brass washers from Grainger.com? Thanks.
