Never have dealt with them(Bob’s), but- my sentiments would be the same. Yep, dealing with Harry directly, was a pleasure. I have dealt with these guys, many times and have been very satisfied with their business ethic: (http://www.elusivedisc.com/VPI/departments/239/) They're a VPI dealer, so probably can get parts.

Ask your question here: http://vpiindustries.com/forum/ |
I once had to go machine shop(one next to me is inside Napa autoparts) to cut me one for Sansui turntable that only had pulley for 50Hz by calculating diameter. When you see turntable motor pulley, you will normally note barrel-like shape where the belt snaps. This preferably should stay same as in original one. I was able to take measurements at different points and figure out the slope radius and mention on the draft. |
I recently sold my two turntables (SP-10 Mk 2, Luxman PD-444) in the hope of consolidating into one, recent vintage table. Although I have not found one yet, I have settled on VPI as I believe parts are still available from VPI in the event repairs or updating are needed. Some of the comments above concern me as they indicate that there is no one at VPI that answers the phone. I'm skeptical of manufacturers that don't offer service or advice on their products and rely only on the dealer network to deal with customers. I had always believed that VPI is customer-oriented. Has that changed? |
