Oil will migrate, between the pulley and the shaft, down to the top motor bearing. Letting the motor run overnight warms things up, and facilitates the process. The option is to remove the pulley, as demonstrated. The, "moron" is Mat Weisfield (current President of VPI), who just might know a thing or two, regarding the maintenance and design of his company’s motors and TTs. Of course; that’s just my opinion, regarding Mat. Thus far; I've been very happy, with VPI's designs/equipment.
VPI Speed Controller
Hi, hope you are all well. I would like to hear from VPI owners about speed controllers. I have a very old SDS and wonder if the newer ADS is much better. I have the Prime Sig. with the Fatboy arm and Soundsmith The Voice cart, Pass XP25 phono, Luxman L509X, and ML ESL11As. Sounds great except for solo piano which does not sound good at all. I heard that speed stability could be the culprit and wonder if the old controller is the cause. Thanks for any input,Joe.
