AVRI Height Screw Weirdness

[tomin8r]

Hey folks,

I've recently noticed an issue when pulling up on my AVRI tremolo arm. The height adjustment screw lifts up and pops back into place. I am wondering if anyone else has encountered something like this, and what the potential fix might be. I am assuming that the spring is probably slipping on the retainer, and this only occurs when the arm is pulled up significantly. First time with an AVRI unit, wondering if this is working as intended.

I attached a gif at the bottom.

Any help would be appreciated as always.

Thanks

Tom

That gif is so helpful...I wish more people did that to show things!

My guess is the spring is catching on the retainer as you mention, or something just a little out of whack underneath.

Can you loosen the strings and lift up the unit as a whole and show us how it's put together? That would likely show the issue

When you're pulling up that much, the spring is going to be completely uncompressed and loose. The spring is probably sticking in the seat on the bottom of the plate for a second, making the screw head lift up a bit before falling free. It's not necessarily a problem, unless it's causing you some trouble.
