My VPI MK3 skips if I walk near it.Should this be?

I'm getting back into analog after a 20 year leave and
was wondering if maybe my Grado cartridge a Silver Prestidge
has the bouncies on my Morch UP-4 Arm with red dot,or is it the table itself.I haven't called VPI yet.I thought I would ask u guys first.Are the springs adjustable on the VPI,if so how? The info supplied with the table doesn't say anything about this.I use to have an AR along time ago and you could adjust the tension of the springs from tight to loose to balance out table.Is this the same principal with this table?

Assuming this is a new location for your turntable, the problem is most likely a "bouncy" floor, not an issue with the turntable or arm. As suggested by Jameswei, you might want to look at ways to make the support platform (rack, shelf, whatever) more stable and isolated from footfalls.
