Mk-IV Platter on a HW-19 JR Table?


Hi all, I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I would like to know if the VPI MK-IV Platter, and Mk-IV Bearing fits the Plinth of a HW-19JR Turntable? (Upgrade)

If not, what must I do? Will I need a new Plinth from VPI? Or? All advice is deeply appreciated, thank you, Mark D'Ambrosio

I have a jr which I upgraded with the Mk 4 platter and bearing, and plinth works without any changes. I was talking with VPI about a plinth upgrade, and they suggested using something like Corian (sp) kitchen counter ocovering in it's place. Just take the current plinth to a kitchen cabinet shop, get a piece in a colour you like, in the same thickness or more, and have it drilled using the old plinth as a template. I plan on doing it soon...they said it should work well . Can't recall the guy I spoke with, but he's the tech I usually get when calling for info
Dear Mark: I'm sorry but the best you can do is to ask directly to VPI.

I can't understand why you ask here when you can go DIRECTLY to the manufacturer or you can't trust them?. Who can knows better than the designer/builder?????????

Regards and enjoy the music.
