Has VPI quit supporting the HW series turntable ?

Has VPI dropped the HW-19 tables and support? Is there an after market for parts? Or for upgrades? and who are the companies?

According to the following link from their web site, you can still buy all kinds of parts and upgrades from them. http://www.vpiindustries.com/upgrades.htm

As far as I know they still sell the HW-19 MK III and Mk IV new. Just recently they changed the Mk IV upgrade kit to include the Aries Black Knight platter thereby dropping the price of the kit by $200! Don't worry about it!
