Well I am glad I am not alone in having this problem - I was beginning to think I was mad! These are supposed to be a simple "screw out the old, screw in the new" replacement. Trouble is, the old coned feet screw off from the table leaving a down-facing threaded bolt for the replacement to screw onto, but the replacements, as you can see in the images online, come with their own bolt looking for a receptacle! The 'adaptors' for original Aries owners are not functional. Even if I could get a tight fit (which I cannot), the new feet are so much higher than the old cones that that they raise the table too high for the stand-alone motor assembly to drive the platter. Clearly they are not designed to work with the Aries original. Dealer seems to think I am imagining this! I guess it's time to have the dealer take these back until VPI sorts it out.
