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.

My package came with the SOTA belt which works fine on my tt. I do plan on ordering an OL belt though.

@earthtones,

Yeah, I made some damping layers out of MyMat material and vinyl damping material from www.partsexpress.com

Much better isolation than stock. Which was a thin rubber O-ring.

I have the SOTA Eclipse package on my Classic 3 Sig SE.

The motor plate has to be modified to bolt the new motor to it. Not too difficult.

I've owned the SDS and have an ADS. The new package is more accurate and doesn't require any manual speed adjustments, nice.

SQ is an overall smoother presentation.
Love it.
