Setting VPI JMW 10.5i

Hi guys,

I have gotten my VPI classic almost set.
The only thing is that I am afraid to regulate the tonearm.
I have Mint LP for the best Tractor and the KAB strobe disk as jig to properly set the TT.
It looks really delicate with that sharp niddle stickin up and I am afraid with the pick up on to regulate azimuth and adjust the weight because the tonearm wabbles in every direction.
Is there any step by step description on how to set this Tonearm? The manual is a bit poor in this sense.

Thank you very much.

Yeah it's a uni-pivot.Just do what is suggested before don't be afraid of the wobbles even after you get it et up.Seems disconcerting when compared to non-uni pivot but once lowered and into groove it tracks well and won't be a concern.Call VPI if it's that worrisome and they will walk you through the initial set up.
