VPI Platter Spinning SLOWLY

I've tried two different lubricants (Super Lube and Shimano Dura Ace Grease) for my VPI Classic 2 platter and it still does not spin properly. I removed and re-applied grease and it spins fine for about 5 minutes, then it slows down immensely. If I remove/re-install the platter, it spins smoothly again but only for a short period of time. Anyone experience this before and know a fix? Thanks

Regarding the difference between the Classic platter and the Super platter.... The Classic is much more open, extended, and faster. The Super platter may have perceived better bass, but only because all the other stuff is recessed and kind of turgid in comparison. Personally, I would not go back to the Super platter.

I have a Super Platter - but it comes with a table equipped with a Maxxon DC motor controlled by a heavy duty regulator. I have an ad up for another table here on AG to give you an idea about the drive system, the one with the Super Platter has an identical drive system - shoot me an email if you are interested.

Thanks
