VPI MOTOR PULLEY ??

I recently sold my two turntables (SP-10 Mk 2, Luxman PD-444) in the hope of consolidating into one, recent vintage table. Although I have not found one yet, I have settled on VPI as I believe parts are still available from VPI in the event repairs or updating are needed. Some of the comments above concern me as they indicate that there is no one at VPI that answers the phone. I'm skeptical of manufacturers that don't offer service or advice on their products and rely only on the dealer network to deal with customers. I had always believed that VPI is customer-oriented. Has that changed? 

That's very sad. So who's left, some megabuck table company like the one on the cover of this month's Absolute Sound? The prices are $100K+ for the table, $20K+ for the arm, and probably another $15K for the cartridge. I've thought about it and decided I'm not ready to lay out $135K+ for my next turntable. So, where do I look next for a customer-friendly manufacturer that will be around for the long term? Any thoughts? 

Well, thanks to everyone who tried to answer my question. I hope autospec finds the pulley he needs at a price that is reasonable.
