Mint Best Tractor still in business?


I'm wondering if anyone know if 'Mint' is still in business.
I've written five emails over the course of a month or more with no response.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with you all. Just got my third for my FR-64s/SP- 10 combo. Needed two days to get those damn fractions of 1 mm right. What an hobby.
I'm looking for one to use on my new VPI Classic 1. Does anyone have one I could borrow or buy?

I have been in contact him regarding a new one. But I'm not exactly sure how to measure spindle to pivot. Is it the exact center point of the spindle, or the edge? And we need it down to a fraction of a mm (according the Nandric)?
AFAIK, you don't need to measure anything in order to make an order. You provide the turntable and arm combo and he figures out how to manufacture the correct template.

Nandric is talking about USING the mint protractor and getting the correct geometry down to the fraction of a mm.
I see.

When I emailed him, he asked me to measure the distance, and around 257mm was what it looked like to me. Does anyone know what the measurement should be for the latest VPI Classic? According to the VPI site, they're not making the 10.5i tonearm any more. It's now just called the Classic arm.
