Call VPI. I hear no noise at all...dead silence. When it was new there was a ticking sound...I lubed the brass plate with some thin oil VPI sent to me. There is thicker grease which Harry said was a new product which is to be used on the main bearing of the platter..not lithium grease.
Whirring sound in Scoutmaster motor normal?
Hello,
I purchased a used Scoutmaster turntable and am setting it up. Is a whirring sound from the motor normal? I can just barely hear it when I stand with my head about 2 ft. from the motor, but if I put my ear near the motor it is clearly audible. Is this normal? There is also a "tisking" sound that happens at approximately .5 second intervals but varies in loudness. Could that be something on the belt?
Any recommendations for lubricant for platter bearing?
Thanks, Drew Harty
