VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP......

I am running into problems constantly. The matt platter runs loose after cleaning 2 or 3 records at a time. I have to remove the matt platter and tighten the shaft screws. I am growign tired of this excercise. I was wondering if there is any thing that can be done to fix this issue.

I will also call up VPI and ask about this problem, and see that they have to say.

Just to make a few thing clear here folks, The screw is not getitng loose that much. The Platter sits on a shaft that is rotated by the motor inside the VPI 17F, there are three screws that fix the platter onto the shaff, these 3 screws are on the top of the patter they just hold the platter.

Now the screws I am talking about are below this metal disk that holds the platter. The Disk has two screws and they are slipping.

I guess the information that I put upfront was not complete.

Called up VIP, they were stunned with this information. According the to them this is the only one that have heard.

They have asked it to be sent back so that they can look at it. Lets see what happens

Well as for 3 months no it just took 1 month to get every thing done. I was in the process of moving so could not send the machine out to VPI.

So Ken you have 2 machines out of which one is for the typhoon or both for the 16.5.
