Selling my VPI JMW 10.5 tonearm and VTA base. Both are in good used condition, as indicated by detailed photos, and work great.
This came off of my VPI Aries 2, as I just upgraded to the newer base and 3D tonearm. No issues and sounds awesome! Would be a great upgrade to many older VPI tables. Note that this is the 10.5 version, not 10.5i, which has a longer effective length and wider side weights, like all newer VPI arms. This VTA base does not have the extended dog leg, so it won’t accommodate the newer arms for the reasons stated above. The 10.5 arm does have an adjustable bezel, and adjustable side weights, which allow for easy azimuth adjustments, unlike the original metal JMW 10. The 10.5 has the multicolored Discovery tonearm wire, and the VTA base is the older cone style. You can still upgrade to the pivot spike if desired.
There is some discoloration on tonearm, as indicated in photos, but arm tube is very clean. Also some marks on the inner tower, likely due to rubbing of side weights. The tonearm lifter has no resistance, so you have to carefully cue albums. It works, but process is manual, as it’s doesn’t slower lower the arm. Very common issue with VPI arm lifters, unfortunately.
Tonearm, base, Allen wrench and x3 mounting bolts are included, and very well pack. It’s ready to ship out, and I should be able to get it out within 24 hours of payment, likely same day. It’ll be shipped via FedEx, insured for selling price. I’ll eat both PayPal and shipping fees. I have shipped many pieces of electronics, so rest assured it’ll arrive in great shape. I have perfect feedback here, so please let me know if there any issues. This ad is cross posted, so I'll pull the listing as soon as payment is received.
Sorry, contingent US buyers only.
Don’t hesitate to ask any questions I’ll be quick to respond. I have little feedback here and none as a seller, have sold on usaudiomart (jrfrancisco), and sold a lot more on eBay (jrybickif), all with 100% satisfaction.
Thanks for looking!
