Rumble from Thorens 160 how to eliminate?


Have a TD 160 (maybe 165) that I recently took out of retirement. Has a good deal of rumble going on, my sub drivers look like I am playing rap music between songs! I put some 3~1 oil in the spindle bushing tube on the sub platter (not a lot, I am not sure if it's the kind that is looking for a half teaspoon or so). Original belt, so it is slow to start but does get going. Using an older Grado cart. which is in good shape. Any fixes before I chuck it and buy a Rega 1? Oil the motor, and if so how?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. It is not a constant rumble, it almost looks like the woofers overextend at one particular point in the platters revolution. I watch the woofers as the platter spins between songs and 2 long excursions and then it stops. Next revolution same thing. I wish I had a low pass filter on my (I shiver to use the words) surround receiver.
