Turntable Leveling Question VPI Scout


I have a Vpi Scout on a Gingko Cloud 9 Platform. The Gingko model is the one where the turntable rest directly on the blue balls not the one with the top piece. The isolation cones of the VPI not not touch the Gingko base.

Do I place the bubble level directly on the acrylic platter to balance the turntable (it appears the platter in suspended on the spindle to some degree) or do I measure the balance on the turntable platform or the gingko base beneath it? I get differnt balance reading for each piece (platter,turntable platoform and gingko base)

The best way on the scout is to level the platter itself, with a 2-3" bubble level like DG suggested. I bought a cheap one and took it apart to get just the level itself. Put it radially at 3 o'clock, then rotate it 90 degrees to 6 o'clock. The platter is what matters.
