So does the head shell move easily right now? Looking at the pic it kind of looks like the hex screw is there, that's why I'm asking........is it possible you have the wrong size key?

No it doesn't move easy at all. I tried everyone I had. The email they just sent says its a 1/16" key. I'll have to double check what size I was using but when I was doing it nothing was happening then the next size up I used was too big. That was my metric set. My standard set might only start at 1/8". I sent the pictures to UTurn and they said the screw was missing but I do see what you're seeing as well.

Is that what all of your UTurns look like under the head shell?

If memory serves, yes. Not much to them as far as the head shell goes.
When you flip records or switch them out do you turn it off or leave it running? Was wondering what the consensus is. I’ve always turned it off then turned back on once flipped but I saw during an Instagram live yesterday from the u-turn account they left it running.
I always turn it off but I'm clumsy. You can probably leave it running if you're a Ninja. I'm afraid of surface scuffs.
I always turn mine off. I would never think of flipping it with it on.

I always left mine running to flip. I would stop it to change out records tho. My PLX I always stop to flip just because it stops instantly.

I turn mine off. I've tried both ways and it just feels weird to take it off the platter when it's running. I read somewhere that it would take a decade plus of turning on/off to have an impact, but your mileage may vary.

Sold my white turntable to get the purple one (my favorite color). Can't wait to have it.
I have the basic blue model. I’ve been wanting a purple one since the released it. Also would like to upgrade to the acrylic platter and a better cartridge so might as well just order the purple with those.

Silver lining of this quarantine - I've become incredible at changing the belt back to 33rpm.

U-Turn's customer service remains excellent. The set screw on my cue lever has gone missing after >4 years and I emailed in just asking for the type and size so I can replace, but they're sending me one free of charge without me asking.
Stevenson one. You can print it for free on vinylengine.com
thanks.. i mostly wondered because of uturns own personal one
How old is tour table? If you have the newer tonearm you may need theirs.

How old is your U Turn? Stevenson was for the older Unipivot arms. The U Turn one is for the newer tone. It actually looks pretty simple. I wish they made it for the older tone arm.
