I check and adjust VIP rim drive from time to time. Changes in weather, humidity, drive belts, lubrication, etc can impact speed. I check and adjust about every 3 to 4 months.
Question for VPI Rim Drive Owners
I recently acquired a VPI Dual Motor Rim Drive at a great price from a friend and got the Super Scoutmaster Chassis from VPI. I have now converted my Scoutmaster to a Super Scoutmaster.
The Rim Drive does have the rubber footers and the latest belts. So far, I have noticed no rocking of the tonearm that seemed to have plagued some users. I may at some point try the Bearclaws that people have been raving about.
I have the SDS and have dialed in the right speed with the KAB strobe. One odd thing that keeps happening is that when I check the speed each day, it seems to vary slightly so I have to slightly adjust the SDS. Has anyone else experienced this? Does the Rim Drive need to run in or warm up?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
