VPI noise problem

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.

I found an old VPI lube....doesn’t say superlube. Is there a difference ...can the better one be bought? I used light sewing machine oil on the motors...I took the platter off, used alcohol to clean (very little black came off) and then used a new alcohol swab to clean the ball. All looked ok...played a record and almost all the noise is gone....could be some on the record....I’ll try a different one tomorrow.
