Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables.


My VPI PLC died a few months back. I’ve since upgraded the motor to the 300 RPM motor, but have been looking to replace the PLC. Even used, the SDS and ADS are quite pricy and the reviews are mixed at best, especially with the ADS.

I ran across the Sota offering, which includes a DC motor and speed controller. It costs roughly the same as a used SDS. There’s also an optional tachometer .

Has anyone done this upgrade to a VPI or other non Sota tables? How did it work out for you?

Thanks for your consideration.

With this upgrade, I dramatically improved my Classic 4. The tricky part was figuring out what size belt to order from Origin Live, plus I had to rig up a custom motor mounting to get rid of plinth-transmitted noise.  Is your motor fixed or is it standalone? The job is easier if it’s the latter.
