I read on another forum that VPI has released a ceramic platter for the classic 'table, its not mentioned on the website. does anyone know about this?
Experimental, may or may not ever be implemented. It won't work with the rim drive because the coating will wear away.
OTOH, there's some more exciting news coming down the pike for Classic and Scoutmaster owners.
