Does your lift mechanism slide up and down or is only able
to rotate at the top of the travel?


The lift mechanism should rotate all the way round on a screw-thread, so you
can adjust it for height by one thread per revolution. You will, however,
have to raise the arm as much as you can out of the base to do this. If it's
just touching, then one turn should do it. For safety, I would remove the
counterweight assembly and the arm tube before doing this.

By the way, the Shure V15 is of US manufacture, the arm is of UK
manufacture, but the two were designed to go together as Shure was the US
distributor for SME.
