Balls.....

"That gentleman in N.J. has the same address as VPI! It must be VPI that does the bearing upgrade! "
Yea, it's Steve at VAS Audio. He is in the same building as VPI, right next door.
About an hour from me, handy to have so close as he is a top notch cartridge man.

Indeed a very handy person, for a turntable manufacturer, to have located in such close proximity!

It's a table I designed, machined, & assembled.

I'm glad others had positive experiences, I didn't.

@slaw
I would like to have the ball bearing replaced on my VPI. What was the problem with Steve Leunge? Can you elaborate?
