VPI paper alignment jig


I just took possession of a new VPI Classic.  The alignment jig that came with it is paper and really looks like an afterthought.  I set it on my table but it doesn't come close to fitting snuggly and doubt it would give me decent results.  I assume at this point the METAL ADJUSTABLE alignment jig I've see in the VPI set up video is a $60 option worth paying for.

I'm new at this any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the confirmation all.  I appreciate your offer stringreen.  I'll call VPI and see what's up.
Before you spend $60.00 on a VPI jig go ahead and get the Best/Mint alignment tool made specific for your arm and table combo for $100.00 and you are set, there is nothing better or easier to use.

Be sure of the length of your arm! The jigs for 10.5, 12" etc. are different. Cheers,

All good input, thank you.  Good point in the tomearm length as my VPI set up manual doesn't state which arm it is.  I've seen it published elseware as the JMW 10.  I will measure and verify.

I called VPI and they confirmed the paper alignment tool is supplied with the current Classic.  Wow that's a bummer because I wouldn't trust a piece a paper to properly align anything other than a shopping list.  I gave them the serial number and VPI stepped up to the plate and is sending me a "no cost" metal jig ...read zero dollars!  They didn't even ask for shipping!  Talk about customer satisfaction...

I'll keep you guys posted after I get everything set up and playing right.
