TNT6 Platter speed

I didn't like buying the KAB for 100.00 and only needing it once but hey, that's the high end.

I agree with Spencer that a good strobe is useful for the long haul. OTOH, you don't have to buy one. Paul made one with patterns for 33.333, 32.999 (1% slow) and 33.666 (1% fast). That allows for fairly fine adjustment/diagnosis. I've got it in a .pdf somewhere if anyone wants it. You'll have to provide a 60Hz light source of course.

Loki,
You will need the KAB more than once. Over time, belt wear, etc. could cause minor variations. It's worth checking once every other month or so. Also, check at both 33 and 45 when you do it. Cheers,

I always run my TNT6 with my Walker Motor Controller. When you buy the Walker, it comes with a KAB strobe included, so you can accurately/easily check the speed. The KAB is a great way to make sure speed is accurate.
Yes, I agree that it should be close w/o the SDS, but most use a motor controller with these tables, so it might be tough to find others in the same scenario as use.
When it comes to table speed, close isn't good enough. You need to check to make sure its right. Cheers,
Spencer

Contact VPI they are very helpful. I had a speed problem when I upgraded to the SDS. I bought a KAB speed strobe as the VPI disk use useless to me. I didn't like buying the KAB for 100.00 and only needing it once but hey, that's the high end.
