If all else fails, try oil/grease change on both platter and rim-drive spindle.

VPI rimdrive squeaks
Has anyone else got or had a problem with a VPI rimdrive making a regular chirruping or squeak (in time with the rim drive rotation, not the platter).
Rimdrive is on my SuperScoutmasterReference, converted from belt drive.
I've tried ensuring the contact is as light as possible but no joy.
Silence if rimdrive isn't in contact with the platter, twice per revolution squeak from (I think) contact point when rimdrive engaged.
At 45rpm squeak is audible from 3 or 4 feet away. Less at 33rpm but still there.
HELP ! This is driving me mad.
