Where can I find a VPI SAMA (600 or 300 rpm)?
Hey,
So, while moving my HW-19 Mk4 in our last move, I inadvertently bumped the SAMA spindle and now it has an audible jiggle/vibration. This doesn't come through in the sound through the speakers, as the SAMA is isolated from the plinth, but I can hear and feel it on the tt's platform and I suspect it's affecting the sonics of the platter, etc.
I can order a new motor and pulley kit from a few retailers for $250. But truthfully, I'd rather forgo that bit of a chance for me to really screw things up and see if I can find another SAMA to replace the one I have.
Or will VPI repair my existing one?
Any advice is appreciated.

There is only one bearing, at the top of the shaft. A couple drops of Super Lube will work its' way down into the bearing. I may have moved a top plate to get access(?) I don’t remember if that was actually necessary but no need to disassemble. https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-51010-Oil/dp/B000BXOGHY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510927116&... |
