Replacement self adhesive strips for the Pro-Ject VC-S vacuum arm. These strips create a soft buffer between the metal vacuum arm and the vinyl record. These strips should be replaced at regular intervals, in order to protect your records. Black Strips compatible with models VC-S2 ALU or VC-E The Black Strips are not compatible with earlier VC-S and VC-S MK II vacuum arms, as they have a plastic cap that overlaps the depth covered by the black felt strips. These vacuum arms can only use White Strips, which are deeper.
