VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question

Brf - I may be wrong, but I remember discussions about VPI having trouble maintaining the tolerances in manufacturing the acrylic one at a reasonable price. That discussion was separate from the super platter. May be wrong, as I am sure there was never such a statement from VPI.

Dtc, you could be right, although I never heard anything about manufacturing problems with the 100% acrylic platter.

From the VPI website - The Super Platter is no longer being produced by VPI. It was excessively difficult to make, had issues with stability of the three layers, and could never be machined as accurately as the Classic Aluminum Platter. The Classic Aluminum Platter replaced it and is a better running design.

I see VPI does not offer the acrylic platter on any of their current production models.
