VPI Classic platter - is center milled?

Everyone makes mistakes..some take responsibility for them and do their best to make things right...VPI is one of those. I strongly suggest everyone with platters that seem to be made wrong to contact VPI and I am quite sure that a replacement will be shortly in the mail...(a very easy replacement).

...no Mark....those platter should be melted down and redone correctly, not sold at all.

Correct Stringreen, and I have perhaps "jumped the gun", in that although I browsed over this thread, there may be some things I have missed, or may not be aware of?

A friend I talked to about this yesterday brought up some good points.

Firstly, I'm assuming this Table was bought new from a VPI Dealer, correct? As my friend mentioned, the customer should be addressing any concerns to the Dealer first, and letting the dealer find out what is what?

Is there also a possibility that there's another Table in the VPI Line that uses such a different Platter, and could it then be just a simple issue of that a wrong Platter was packed with the said Table?

Before I went into some rant, and not fully knowing what is what here, and maybe incorrectly assuming things at face value, VPI from the past has never seemed to be one to shy away from stepping up and backing their products. That if a manufacturing mistake was made, VPI would no doubt make the customer whole if it was a mistake they made.

I wish to keep an eye on this thread, to see what is eventually finally found, and whether this is a newer modified design, or was an error on the Platter?

What platter does the Traveller have?

I saw one at a dealer last week and the inner label recession was raised.

So the bottoms line is that (1) VPI has some platters manufactured, (2) the platters were improperly made with a raised middle instead of a recessed middle, and (3) to fix the problem, a mat is used with the platters with the raised middle?
