VPI noise problem

..sounds rhythmic and both the tempo and intensity increases when going from 33 to 45. It’s a Superscoutmaster with Classic platter, rim drive, new arm with 2nd pivot. Nothing visually seems rubbing, only occurs when cartridge is on the record.

You need to do a better job at describing the issue.

A good place to start would be to lube the motor and the platter bearing.

I use VPI's superlube on the platter bearing and a few drops of light oil on the motor. Because your noise is cyclical, those are the the two places I'd examine first.
