Where can I find a VPI SAMA (600 or 300 rpm)?


Hey,

So, while moving my HW-19 Mk4 in our last move, I inadvertently bumped the SAMA spindle and now it has an audible jiggle/vibration. This doesn't come through in the sound through the speakers, as the SAMA is isolated from the plinth, but I can hear and feel it on the tt's platform and I suspect it's affecting the sonics of the platter, etc.

I can order a new motor and pulley kit from a few retailers for $250. But truthfully, I'd rather forgo that bit of a chance for me to really screw things up and see if I can find another SAMA to replace the one I have.

Or will VPI repair my existing one?

Any advice is appreciated.

I have one I took off a Scout I think it is 300 rpm when I upgraded to 600, I will pull it out and take some picks I will sell for 1/2 of what they are new
