VPI CLAMP

It is the exact same clamp that came with my HW19JR turntable back in the 90's.  I had a VPI record cleaner and the 2 clamps are identical.  Their best clamp is the stainless/delrin clamp.

It should be noted that the knob is almost the same size as the original translucent disc that came with the early HW19 MKIIIs. It also screws all the way down and seems to put pressure on the lp label. I have now tried it over 3 lp sides with no egregious problems noted. At least someone has tried it. Soon enough I will bite the bullet and try to acquire an original disc and small knob or a more recent large delrin clamp. Then I can actually do a direct comparison and even entertain a blind comparison. Thanks for the replies.

It will clamp the record down, but it won’t do what the appropriate clamp will do. Which is to have the record firmly connected to the platter. 
In other words, get the right clamp.

good luck
