VPI 16.5 clamp

"I purchased a clamp made out of aluminum from www.ttweights.com for my 16.5 that works very well and I am very pleased with it."

I have one of these too and HIGHLY recommend it!

When I am cleaning records with my VPI 16.5, I have never had an issue with the record slipping so I don't see the need.

As bugman has said, there are other options if you dislike the stock little knurled knob.

One could also probably find a local machinist, and have them machine one for no more than $10 tops. Mark

I think the stock clamp works just fine but I have a spare SOTA reflex clamp and I love it, its nice to just pop the lever and put on and off without screwing it down and just incase it also protects label from liquid.

JFC!!! ..Get a life!!! ..The plastic clamp works just fine!!! ..If you're not happy, just use your record clamp! Oh, BTW, AJ's Basis clamp will works perfectly... just buy one of those!
