VPI Classic 2 (Walnut) newer version with JMW-10.5T arm
VPI Classic 2 in walnut, newer version with motor in the rear and power button on the top of the plinth. VTA-on-the-fly adjustment. This newer version has the slightly raised metal portion of plinth top – a design improvement to prevent plinth cover from sliding off turntable from accidental knocks. This lovely turntable has been well-cared for and gently used. It is in very good condition with some light sign of usage. There are the usual unavoidable marks on the headshell from attaching cartridges. There is also a light scuff mark on tonearm assembly, obscured by the bearing cup of the armwand.
According to Mat Weisfeld on the VPI forum, this version of Classic 2 incorporated a speed controller (he called it a “mini SDS”). The arm is the newer JMW-10.5T (tapered one-piece construction with improved internal damping for resonance reduction). I have installed the Soundsmith Counter Intuitive device for easy VTF and azimuth adjustment.
Include the following accessories: user manual, power cord, VPI alignment jig, 2 hex wrench, azimuth rod, unused Delrin record clamp and rubber washer, unused tonearm damping fluid, unused tonearm finger lift, half tube of Super Lube synthetic grease, and Soundsmith Counter Intuitive (extra unused sticker is included). Original factory boxes (one for the table and one for the platter).
No cartridge or plinth cover is included. Selling this to free funds for an idler drive turntable project.
