VPI turntable repairs

I did talk to Sheila one day, but I must have caught her on a bad day.....She wasn't very nice to talk to....I'm pretty much done with VPI......I just would like to get it fixed so I can sell it.....The Plinth got scratched up when some other parts in the box got next to it.....Also the tone arm base got some scratches .....Will

Sberger.....I have some scratches on the Plinth and some scratches on the tone arms base.....I was told by the person that I bought it from that they would replace all the damaged parts but that didn't happen either...And it been going on for quite some time.....I'm ready to move on.....No other shops with-in 400 miles....I tried to get some parts from a VPI dealer in Seattle, Washington but they couldn't even get the right belt for my VPI Jr. so my VPI experence has been less than warm......I hate to do it but I think that I'll get a Japanese turntable , then I can at least get parts.....

It was a private sale on Audiogon, and it had the factory boxes.....Price to repair it was not a issue, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem.....

Schipo: Thanks for the advice but I think I'm done with VPI.....It's quite a shame , I really like records......But I think I need to try something else....

Markd51: Actually mine is a Aeries with the 10.5 tonearm.........I was hoping maybe someone in the west did repairs on these......

Tubeo: Mine is a Aeries I with the 10.5 tonearm.... I would need some parts for the tonearm base and the Plinth is scratched.....I can't tell what the Plinth is made of or I would repair it myself......

Mofimadness: To give credit to the seller , he has offered to take care of the repaires but the problem is I can't seem to get it repaired..If someone would have just told me when the repairs can be completed I would waited for that to happen....I have spent quite a little money in this project at this point with a VPI PLC and Audio Research Phono pre-amp and cartridge.....Plus building a special stand for it......This has been going on since before Christmas... I sent it to VPI in the first of January.....If I knew what the Plinth was made of I could repair it myself.....The parts on the base I could make, but I'm losing interest at this point and I don't even have it back yet.....Will

Johnbrown: If you will read my reply I tell what turntable it is and the problems I am having whit repaires

Tonydec: I live in Lewiston, Idaho ....About 250 miles from Boise or about 350 from Seattle......I like the piano repair person idea.....Maybe I'll look into that....Maybe I'll go to church this sunday and pray for it......

In all fairness to Sheila,she has contacted me about repairing my turntable.....I cannot ask for anymore.....I will not respond to further e-mails reguarding this item or or its repair.....Will

Waynefia: I have been working on this for quite some time....I guess that it may require some more time...I will need to see what happens .... " Patience is a virtue " Will
