Every part on this table is absolutely brand new. VPI sells motors, tonearms, bearings and platters, as does Origin Live. The platter and bearing goes for $1000.00 and the motor from OL goes for $850.00. The tonearm is around $700.00 with all its parts. The plinth was around $500.00 to build. The dustcover was about $225.00 and the extra bits were another $150.00. So in total this table cost around $3000.00 to build, sans cartridge.
