Up for sale is my absolutely perfect VPI prime in Walnut finish with black 3D unipivot 10” tonearm. It comes with all original accessories and packaging, including a very handy custom VPI cartridge alignment jig which makes mounting and aligning a cartridge a 15 minute operation rather than hours. It also includes the Soundsmith Counter Intuitive system which makes fine tuning tracking force and azimuth 1000x easier than it is with only the stock counterweight. 
I also have a custom made acrylic cover and several nice moving coil cartridges if you want me to get you totally set up. I have a beautiful Dynavector XX-2 MKII low output moving coil for $950, a Benz Micro high output moving coil (currently mounted) for $600, and an Ortofon Quintet blur low output miving coil for $275. 
I would greatly prefer local pickup, as mailing turntables can be a bit painful. If you are in the New York City area, I will personally help you set up the turntable. 
Please feel free to ask me any questions and to send me a reasonable offer. Please no low-balls, this table is priced on the low end of recent sales as I would like to make room for my new Axpona acquisition so the wife doesn’t get pissed we have two turntables...

VPI Prime Turntable Comes with Everything Needed to Get the Most Music Out of Vinyl LP Grooves: Enlarged Chassis, 10-Inch 3D-Printed Tonearm, Powerful Motor, 20-Pound Platter

The class-leading VPI Prime turntabledoes the award-winning Scout line proud and comes complete with everything you need to get incredible sonic presentations from your vinyl collection. Enhancing the original Scout chassis, Prime includes an updated ten-inch 3D-printed tonearm with on-the-fly adjustability. A new cylindrical motor housing, platter/bearing with high tolerance, two-inch album platter that can accept the VPI Outer Ring Clamp (sold separately), and set of high-tech aluminum feet featuring an upgraded cone cup with ball bearings complete this savvy design. All told, Prime epitomizes high-end value. Backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

“While the VPI Signature gets all the accolades today, it’s worth remembering where it all began, with the excellent Prime. The first turntable with a 3D printed arm, the Prime sets a standard for the rivals to beat!”
- Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+, Best Products of the Last Five Years

"Mat Weisfeld has taken VPI to the next level on so many fronts... Prime takes advantage of all this, offering an 20-pound platter, with one of their new 3D printed tonearms and a proven upgrade path with VPI accessories to take the performance of this table even further, once you get in the groove with it."
– TONEAudio, Publisher's Choice Award 

"You get the 'table, with its high mass aluminum alloy platter and a ten inch 3D printed arm makes the VPI Prime a difficult-to-beat turntable/arm at the $4000 price point. Why? Because the Prime does everything well, it's that good!"
– Michael Fremer, Stereophile/Analog Planet

Hand-Built in the U.S.A., Includes Updated 3D-Printed Tonearm and VTA Mounting Base
Prime includes a VPI 300RPM motor inside an 8-pound steel-machined chassis. This powerful motor drives the 20-pound VPI Classic platter with inverted bearing, producing a level of speed stability unmatched at this price. Wow and flutter, as well as rumble, are well below audible levels. Prime's tonearm happens to be a brand-new incarnation of VPI's ingenious 10-Inch JMW Classic 3D tonearm. The arm is shaped like that of the Classic 3 , and includes large stabilizing side weights, an adjustable counterweight, and copper-shielded internal wiring. It also comes with VPI's calibrated "Adjustable VTA-on-the-Fly" mounting base. The sensual chassis is painted with an anti-resonant paint and is a composite of MDF and 10-gauge steel for added rigidity, mass, and damping.

"It's like putting you in the control room where the master tape is playing. Tiny, nuanced gestures normally lost in the mix are resolved easily here – not in a surgical strike on all things audio, but like an honest, blameless reference point that we should ultimately strive to achieve."
– Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

Future-Proofed With Modification Options, All You Need Is a Cartridge (Which We'll Mount for Free)
Over the course of the past decade, VPI's Scout Series has helped countless music lovers get more from the grooves of their vinyl collections. Prime enhances every aspect of the venerable Scout. The best part is this wonderful 'table will have options for further modification in the future. At present, VPI's Outer Ring Clamp and ADS speed control drive-system can be added anytime. So you can rest assured Prime will never suffer from obsolescence. Call us to discuss the cartridge of your choice (we will happily mount it for free). And as always, we guarantee your satisfaction.

"The VPI Prime is an incredible turntable for $3,999. It looks great, sounds great, feels substantial when you set it up, and is easily upgraded for even more performance."
– Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio
