TNT6 Platter speed


Hi there,I'm just upgraded my TNT jr to a VI with the dual motor assembly and I'm not sure but it seems it may be turning slightly faster than the single motor. Anyone else notice this.
I am not using the SDS as of yet, but I would think the motor would turn pretty close to accurate speeds without the SDS, no?

Contact VPI they are very helpful. I had a speed problem when I upgraded to the SDS. I bought a KAB speed strobe as the VPI disk use useless to me. I didn't like buying the KAB for 100.00 and only needing it once but hey, that's the high end.
Loki,
You will need the KAB more than once. Over time, belt wear, etc. could cause minor variations. It's worth checking once every other month or so. Also, check at both 33 and 45 when you do it. Cheers,

I agree with Spencer that a good strobe is useful for the long haul. OTOH, you don't have to buy one. Paul made one with patterns for 33.333, 32.999 (1% slow) and 33.666 (1% fast). That allows for fairly fine adjustment/diagnosis. I've got it in a .pdf somewhere if anyone wants it. You'll have to provide a 60Hz light source of course.
