The original Scoutmaster plinth can be upgraded to full Super Scoutmaster level by adding SDS, Clamp and ring and the new VPI motor/flywheel combination. The sonics is EXACTLY the same per Harry Weisfeld as well as Mike at VPI.
The only difference is that the platter start-up time is just a tad slower (a few seconds slower) with the single motor/flywheel combination than with the HRX double motor-flywheel combination and ofcourse how much bragging rights you have over an extra motor driving your flywheel! PER HARRY.
Per Harry in a phone conversation, once the flywheel gets going it doesnt really care if its being driven by one motor or two motors.
This offers huge cost savings in motor/flywheel cost and the fact that you can use the original Scoutmaster plinth as well.
As a matter of fact, I have followed this upgrade path for my Scoutmaster and SDS combo after consulting with Harry on this specific issue. Ring/Clamps, motor/flywheel and new signature arm are already on their way. Its going to be a fun weekend.
