VPI Turntable repair

I have a Gen-1 VPI Traveler with a defective arm.  I contacted VPI about this and sent them my arm, and they said it was irreparable.  I was wondering if anyone knew of an aftermarket tonearm that would fit, or for that matter an aftermarket source for repair?  

Thank you ever so much.  I greatly appreciate any help.

Hey guys, if you have any questions on whether something can be fixed or need an arm/table looked at, feel free to contact me.
Or if you just want something tuned up, like replacing the tonearm wire or performing some preventative maintenance, I am good for that too.

I wanted to mention that VPI did offer me a V1 Arm they dug up to swap out at no charge but they are working on a better solution. I wanted to make sure people knew they offered me a solution. I had no clue these were only worth $600-800.

I told them I was having mine repaired, and to let the next guy have it.

I feel comfortable with Steve repairing and tuning it, I have read that he is very skilled. I hope to get ruby bearings too!
