Roadrunner reapearance

I saw on the latest edition of Analog Planet on MF’s video of the show he attended that at the SOTA booth, they had a working product of the Roadrunner w/motor/pulley as a drop in for a VPI. Anyone here have more info or even better, have one in use? It was reported it is now a product for sale @ $1k. No mention of it on SOTA’s website.

Thank you slaw and phoenixengr,
I have talked to met Peter of PBN a few times and own his fine speakers. I did not know he made a tachometer, I will have to look into that.

@phoenixengr,

Thanks for the explanation. I plan on purchasing your complete package for my TT project.

I've got an older VPI motor from a TNT 3 with captive electric cord. How can I determine if the SOTA will fit and what modifications I might need to make?

I've never looked under the hood of my current motor if I just remove the 4 screws will the motor lift out of the base? I'm hoping the SOTA one just drops in. Anyone done this?

@mantistech, go onto the VPI Forum, where there has been some discussion of the SOTA/Phoenix Engineering package. One VPI owner sent his SAMA to SOTA, who installed the new DC motor in place of the stock Hurst, and at a very reasonable price.
