VPI HW-19 or VPI Traveler


I am looking at either an HW-19 w/ Rega RB300 tone arm or a new VPI Traveler. Both are 1K and the HW-19 is in new condition. What is the better turntable?

I agree with frogman about Mobil 1, replacing the springs and upgrading the platter, however don’t use Sorbothane, get (4) of Herbies Tall Firm Tenderfeet. Congrats on the table, you will enjoy it ...

Lithium grease has been used on the inverted bearing,  I don't recall seeing it recommended for the non-inverted bearing.  

Mobil 1 is fine.  I have also used the synthetic variety of Slick 50.

Upon the recommendation of the tech who repaired my TNT bearing I now use a much thicker oil.
You made the right choice. I use a few drops of Castrol HD 40 weight oil to lube the bearing.
Enjoy your new table!
Thanks everyone. I'll touch base about how to oil once I get the table. 

Can anyone suggest a cartridge alignment tool for this table/ tonearm combo?
