@simao send us an email and we can get you fixed up :) there is a service fee but it will be a lot less money than $250. info@vpiindustries.com and my guy Marc will get the ball rolling on it.
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.
