VPI Aries I Mint condition, original owner!

Up for consideration, by beloved VPI Aries I turntable. Totally, in as new cosmetic and functional condition. Comes with original boxes, all original packaging, manual. Here are the details: Heavy metal platter version (considered the best and is the best), Funk Firm Achromat platter mat, upgraded 300 rpm motor (original 600 rpm included as well), Version 2 cone feet (original feet included), upgraded 10.5i tonearm and base (I think that's what it was called), new black junction box (original silver junction box included as well), Ginko Audio "B" Stock Acrylic Dust Cover (a few small hairline cracks in the lower corner area has devloped since ownership).

Anyway, the real deal is being offered with this advertisement. I've been on Audiogon since the beginning, my feedback speaks for itself.

Firm price for sure. I package extremely well so to ensure safe passage of audio equipment. Would, of course, prefer a local sale in Oregon or Washington states.

What else can I answer. I expect this piece won't last long, so who will that smart buyer be?

The Clearaudio Maestro II cartridge is NOT included in sale. This is a low hours piece that I would be willing to sell, in addition to the VPI Aries I that is listed.
