VPI turntable repairs

Sberger.....I have some scratches on the Plinth and some scratches on the tone arms base.....I was told by the person that I bought it from that they would replace all the damaged parts but that didn't happen either...And it been going on for quite some time.....I'm ready to move on.....No other shops with-in 400 miles....I tried to get some parts from a VPI dealer in Seattle, Washington but they couldn't even get the right belt for my VPI Jr. so my VPI experence has been less than warm......I hate to do it but I think that I'll get a Japanese turntable , then I can at least get parts.....

It was a private sale on Audiogon, and it had the factory boxes.....Price to repair it was not a issue, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem.....

Autospec give them a call again I'm sure there just might have been what they call "A Failure to communicate". We all wish you the best with the table.

Schipo: Thanks for the advice but I think I'm done with VPI.....It's quite a shame , I really like records......But I think I need to try something else....

Will, Still you haven't clearly mentioned what Model Turntable this is? All I see mentioned at this point, is the word "Jr"?

Is this a HW-19 Table? Or?

If it is a HW-19 Table, there may be diffculty getting much in the way of parts, or repair. VPI dropped support of this Table, being that it was made for a good 25 years, and while they have some parts still available, some things like Plinths, Armboards are most likely non-existent. Custom fabrication will be the only way, unless one could catch used parts here, but you may be in for a long wait.

If it is a more current model (Scout) then there should be no problem for any parts. Mark
