This ad showed up in my inbox this morn. Apparently NOS Wisa's but note the 220v. I never used a WISA myself so can't confirm the pressure they deliver at the arm itself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WISA-air-pump-for-Eminent-Technology-Tonearm-NOS-nic...

Pioneer VSX-21 won't turn on?
Before you plug it back in try holding down the power button for a while (30 seconds). This helps to drain some components of residual energy. good luck

Lewm - I'm sure it does; I've never seen the thread slip on any of those. That was part of my point to Dover. I thought also you were going to take issue with his idea that the Verdier needs a "stronger" motor. To my way of thinking, the Verdier i...
