VPI Classic 3

Alan2, Did you get the Classic 3 up and running? I actually took a picture of my Classic 1, when I was changing out the capacitor so you can see exactly which one to change. Both the Classic 1 and the Classic 3 needed a capacitor change in my system to get rid of the thump. Like I said it is system dependent, so you might not have a problem at all. The wiring is the same from the Classic 1 to the Classic 3, so if you want a picture, let me know, and I can send it to you.

Hi Captian winters, I haven't set it up yet. I'm looking for someone local who's familiar with VPI's. I've done some minor work on my Oracle Delphi MK-ll, which is a way different design. But if I don't find anyone I will just go for it very slow.......
The photo would be great thanks.Replacing the capacitor I can do for sure. I used to be into Ham Radio 25 years ago. Built many antennas and other things.

Hi Captian winters, I finally have time to setup the VPI Classic 3 on Saturday. I will let you know if I need any advice. Thanks.

Already to setup my new Turntable and it was damaged by FEDEX.
Maybe UPS is the way to go.

Sh*t Alan!! Sorry to read about your woes.

I'm thinking about sending my Classic 1 via FedEx to the VPI factory for some upgrades. The drive to VPI is at least 2 hours from where I live and I can't afford to take off the time. Further, who wants to drive 2 hours in North Jersey?? When I'm that close to NYC, my blood pressure goes up 10 points. LOL. Ergo FedEx.

FedEx must have been playing football with your Classic 3 because the darn thing is packed so well. Don't get so warm and fuzzy about UPS. If you check the Forum posts, plenty of complaints listed about UPS too.

Does anyone know of a better carrier than FedEx and UPS??
