VPI HW-19 Spindle

Once you get a new spindle you will have to seat it properly again. VPI recommends using their 2-piece clamp for this - just screw it down tight and all should be OK, but maybe not.

After doing this ofiginally I saw a slight wobble on the platter bottom edge when it was spinning. VPI then said to remove the center spindle again, turn the platter 1/4 way round and reseat it again. After doing this twice everything was stable with no wobble. I guess the machining isn't always perfect but a little adjustment and all is well.

Enjoy,
Bob

You are very welcome. This is why I love this community so much.

Schipo. I just successfully completed the procedure per your instructions. Thanks again, for your advice.

Thanks Schipo. It is my plan to remove it and then replace it with a new spindle. I'll follow your instructions and let you know how it comes out.

Are you asking to remove it or a completly new one, other than the supplied factory spindle. To remove it if stuck a light tap with a hammer make sure to protect by wrapping it with a towel and hitting the top of the spindle not the bearing side, no metal to metal strikes.
