mijustyn....no it doesn't ......if indeed the noise is coming from the bearing, the thrust plate can be refinished ....maybe the ball would be replaced. I am thinking it may be coming from the 2nd pivot....the turntable will be fixed.
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.

Yeah....I found my problem. Under the turntable, there is large bolt which holds the bearing in place. I could turn it with my fingers...wrong. I got my Channel Locks, and tightened it down. Silence is golden. Not only is the noise gone, but the air around instruments, solid lows, vocal clarity is enhanced. Love when things work out. |
