tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I am tryign to set up a Scout/JWM9 and Dynavector 20x cart. Both sets of mounting screws are too short for the thick JWM arm headshell. Where can I get longer screws and a force guage? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 If you have the will power to order on line and wait http://www.needledoctor.com/s.nl/it.A/id.934/.f?sc=2&category=443 Perhaps a local Radio Shack or jewler might have something.

tjnif Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi Chris re. force guage go to audiogon.com think they are about 100 bucks,acoustic sounds sells the same one I believe for $180 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Tom, Thanks for the info but I am just getting my feet wet with this. I was thinking more like the $20 Shure guage, but that does sound like a good deal. How often does the adjustment need to be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillH2121 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Anytime you adjust the VTA (arm height) you'll have to recheck and probably adjust your tracking force. I use the Shure gauge, I think its reasonably accurate but likely never right on. To locate the cartridge screws, check with any audio equipment store that's been in business for awhile - chances are they have a drawer full of old screws from the numerous TTs they worked on "back in the day".

Thanks, Chris Chris, I found all the nuts and bolts (standard and metric - flat, round and cap head) I'll ever need at my local hobby shop at much better prices than I could find online. Have fun, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Also, You can pick up a pocket digital scale online for about $10-30. I bought a Jennings CC-100 (100g, .05 accuracy) for $25 a while back and I put together an old credit card and some headshell nuts and bolts to measure at record height. It's cheap, easy to make and works great! -Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
