Here we have a high quality Scout Jr. turntable from American vinyl specialists VPI Industries. When it was introduced, the company described it as their “entry level turntable” but in reality, there is nothing “budget” about any item that VPI Industries produce. Our example of this almost “plug ‘n’ play” unit is in good condition noting a few minor marks and is supplied in original factory packaging along with our regular warranty.

The tonearm is 9 inches long with a Yoke type vertical bearing and damped turntable like horizontal bearing, it is the perfect solution to enjoying your music!
