My VPI junior doesn't have aground lead

Other tables I've known do have it. Why not mine? How hard is to attach one myself?

However the arm may not have electrical continuity to the plinth where the bearing carrier is mounted; my MK 4 doesn't. I ground the bearing carrier (which grounds the platter via spindle contact) with a separate small stranded ground lead which is crimped to a ring-tonge lug, which is fastened underneath one of the bearing carrier bolts/nuts. Ground that to the same place you ground the tonearm, typically at the phono stage or preamp's grounding stud on the back.
