VPI MK-4 platter problem


Anyone out there ever had a problem getting a MK-4 platter to fit a 19jr. The spindle and bearing I got with my Mk-4 platter will not fit my bearing well on my 19jr.The diameter of the spindle is to small for the well. I have tried contacting VPI but have had no response from them. I got the platter,spindle & bearing from someone here on audiogon. or

Sounds like you only got half of the required bearing assembly. You obviously need the bearing well from the Mk-IV bearing, which will accept the larger diameter spindle. You should be able to order this directly from VPI, although you may have to buy the complete bearing assembly.
I'd call them instead of e-mailing. Then you can talk to a tech that should know exactly how to resolve your problem, give you prices, etc.

Good Luck!
