I have a new (used) Performax 16-32 - and am having trouble getting the drum aligned to make a perfectly flat run.

I've read the manual and have done the "loosen four bolts and turn the adjustment screw" routine multiple times - but I seem to be chasing my tail.

Any advice on tricks you might know to get this aligned sure would help.

Thanks

This just recently on the Australian / New Zealand Luthiers Forum. Might be of a help.

Success!!!

I followed this link that was sent to me:

http://www.joewoodworker.com/performax.htm

I adapted the procedure to using my standard ohm/volt meter.

My 16-32 is now VERY happy - and so am I!!!
