VPI SDS exact speed in .... 40 minutes?

Thanks for the responses. I use oil in the flywheel and the platter bearing, not grease. Do you consider that using grease will help?. By the way, my platter is the one that is half black acrylic and half aluminum.

I would think that oil would run out of the bearings due to gravity leaving the thrust plate high and dry, i have only ever used white lithium grease in my many many VPI based tables and have never had any trouble.

Viper Lube

Best of luck

I respectfully disagree with bpaudio. Well type bearings such as comes with those older platters neee oil not grease. I have tried white lube in my TNT and it took forever to achieve a stanle correct speed. Inverded bearings need grease to prevent the oil from just running off the bearing and thrust plate.

W2 - Are we not talking about inverted bearings here ?

Good Listening
