Mint Best Tractor still in business?


I'm wondering if anyone know if 'Mint' is still in business.
I've written five emails over the course of a month or more with no response.

Thanks in advance.

Narticus,

First, read what Nandric just wrote.

Second, VPI is notoriously reluctant to share technical data about their products. It's one way of keeping customers from buying parts, upgrades and tools (like protractors) from a competitor. Not especially customer-friendly in a DIY-happy world like vinyl but it's a common business practice exercised by many companies in many industries (including the one I work for).

Third, spindle-to-pivot distance is measured from the center of the TT spindle to the center of the axis of horizontal rotation of the tonearm. Estimate to the nearest 0.1mm if you can. Use the finest ruler you can find and measure multiple times with the ruler oriented in both directions. Throw out obviously anomalous results and average the others.
