How difficult to set-up a Well Tempered Classic

I just received the Well Tempered that I bought from Ebay. The good news is that it came in original packaging and everything looks fine. The bad news is everything is taken apart (probably the only way to safely send the turntable.) The instructions are included but it looks complicated to set this table and arm up. I am not particularly handy (an understatement) so would I be better off letting a local tech set it up for me? I am in Chicago if anyone knows of anyone particularly expert in turntable set-up.

There is a wonderful gentleman by the name of Bob Clanfield who is considered by many in the Chicagoland area to be the analog guru specializing in the Well Tempered turntable. I had him do my Reference/Shelter901 combo and my analog has never sounded so good. Highly recommended. He has been setting these tables up for years and also use to be a dealer and has many spare parts for your needs if this should ever happen.
Drop me an email and I will give you his phone number.
Regards,
Bill

I believe that Bob Clanfield originally set mine up a few years ago also after I purchased the reference arm upgrade from him.

He's an outstanding person and I hope that he's doing well.

Bill, small world, I have a reference / Shelter 901 also.
