One other note -- the tension on the wire for the VTF setting can be adjusted. The little tube over the counterweight has a hole in the back of it. Look in there and you should see a threaded sleeve. In that sleeve is a threaded nylon screw that can be moved to increase or decrease tension (the crimped end of the wire sits in the middle of the screw, so you may have to rig something to move it -- I used a pair of tweezers).

So if you have a scale (assuming your tension line isn't binding anywhere as mine had been), you could adjust the VTF setting so that it reads accurately.

Again, this is why I love the Thorens -- it's as if they knew their tables would still be running in 30+ years, so everything can be easily recalibrated if need be.
