The VPI Scoutmaster turntable combines key features from several of VPI's most successful tables. It uses the
Aries 2 platter and inverted bearing, a larger version of the steel VPI Scout motor assembly with new
fused IEC socket with new 300-RPM motor, and a dual Scout chassis with a steel center. The
VPI Scoutmaster also comes with the JMW-9 tonearm installed.
VPI has never made a more musical and involving turntable at such a bargain price.
The VPI Scoutmaster turntable and VPI JMW-9 tonearm are offered as a package. It has a retail
value of US$2,500.00. Options are dustcover, periphery ring clamp, SDS power supply and
phono cartridge.
We would be happy to assist you with best pricing and phono cartridge recommendations.
