We were almost disappointed when he thought he dropped a screwdriver on the ground, but then he found it.
Mikey did warn that if you were going to do the set-up, you should remove your jacket, tie, and jewelry. Once he had discarded these accouterments, he set to work installing an Ortofon cartridge on a VPI Scout LP player. As always, the clips on the leads were the wrong size for the pins on the cartridge, but this didn’t faze Mickey none.
The packed house watched enthralled, presumably waiting for Michael to bend a cantilever, snap off a stylus, or drop tiny parts on the ground. If so, they were disappointed!

You guys are brutal! I would love to see readers' portraits lined up in a row. We are not a pretty bunch for the most part!
Oh wait.. that picture of the audience is pretty telling. lol...
Not really sure why people make such a big fuss about TT set up. It really is very simple. And that little VPI Scout, just take the arm top off man instead of fiddling around with it sitting on the pivot point. VPI make decks that anyone can set up if they have a 30 minute session on the basics
