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


Hi,
I bought a VPI TT with double motor/flywheel. Normaly use to take about 30 -40 minutes to get the exact speed. after 10 minutoe is very close but to be exactly at 33.333 needs that time. Do you consider this is normal?

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.
