VPI noise problem

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.

good idea cleeds...was thinking the same....let you know.   Do you know the proper lube?  thanks

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.

While you're lubricating the bearing it would be wise to check the ball and thrust pad for wear.
