Help VPI SDS Issue

if you call vpi, they will send you a capacitor to modify your motor, if you're willing to open it up. the std. setting on the SDS does not provide enough start-up torque with the older outboard motors, as i also found out. being a lazy bum, i opted to program the SDS to provide a higher start-up voltage- the instructions are in the manual. at this higher setting there is more motor "noise" however. can "you" hear it?
i cannot, but then...

I had the same problem. There isn't much you can do for the 600 RPM motor. When I upgraded to the 300 RPM motor the problem went away and the table sounded better! The motor is fairly cheap so I would push the platter for now and get the motor as soon as you can!

Thanks for the advice

I had this exact problem after I upgraded my TNT to a superplatter, ring clamp and SDS. In my system, it was caused by the SDS - the SDS does not provide enough start-up torque with the older SAMAs. In my case, I had a 14 year old SAMA. I changed the SDS voltage and VPI even sent a capacitor, but nothing helped. The solution was to purchase and install the VPI 300rpm motor upgrade kit.

It was very easy to do and competely took care of the issue. I run the SDS at the factory set voltage and my TNT is quiet and starts up each and every time.

Hello,
Have you gone into calibration mode on the SDS and adjusted the settings? You should be able to correct this.
If you don't know how, go to the VPI website and select "Manuals". There is a word document explaining calibration mode for the SDS.
Hopefully, that's all you need to do.

Cheers.
