Drive System Retrofits for Other Turntables

Through the years, Verdier and Redpoint owners  (as well as owners of other turntables) have been persistent in their requests for a Galibier drive system (we're flattered). Leveraging lessons learned from our recent drive system update, we have streamlined our production capabilities, and we're proud to announce that we have re-instituted our drive system retrofit/upgrade program for you.

Who is it for?

Anyone who can implement a drive system with an external (modular) motor pod.  Currently, our Kapton belts are 46" in circumference, and we'll be monitoring requests to see if there's a requirement for different lengths. In a typical retrofit, a custom height motor pod is fabricated, and we'll fit all of our Stelvio class drive system components into this module.

Where can I learn more?

Here's the direct  link to our drive system retrofit page.  You can always navigate to it from our main products page as well.

It gets better ...

We've also instituted a trade-in program, where you can apply the purchase price of your drive system to a new Gavia, Stelvio or Savoie turntable.  Contact us for details.
