Why would you press down on the VPI's arm? The machine's vacuum draws the arm down/does all the work. I suppose if one were a real klutz.........
I know(and stated) how the VPI works. Is there a problem with your comprehension? To quote YOUR post, "The VPI's arm
has a history of breaking if you press down on it too hard OR at an angle." Maybe you didn't understand my question.
WHY would anyone PRESS DOWN on the VPI's arm? I strongly
prefer NOT to have ANY metal anywhere near my vinyls,
especially while they are being handled(why take any
chances?). I bought an HW-16 in the 80's and used it
successfully for a couple decades(now own the 16.5) There
must be a lot of, "dunces" in the World, given that
the 16.5 is so vastly popular, and the VPI machines have been in production for over 30 years.
