The
Scoutmaster took the best concepts of the Scout and stepped it up. More
mass, more low end! It doubled up the chassis and added a steel center
between. At the time it had the same platter as the Aries 3 which was a
thicker acrylic platter using an inverted bearing. The Outbound motor
was a 300 RPM 24 pole motor with IEC socket. The Scoutmaster was
standard with a VPI JMW 9 arm but would have the option to upgrade to
the Nordost Valhalla wire. The easiest way to tell if your Scoutmaster
has a signature arm is to see what color the wire is connecting to your
junction box. If it is multi-color than it was a standard JMW 9. If the
color is silver then you have the JMW Signature arm
As Harry Weisfeld would say, "The Scoutmaster is a Scout with a shot of testosterone for a complete musical experience."

The table stands 19" by 14" and weighs 48 pounds.

300 RPM motor in steel motor box.
