VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP......

I am running into problems constantly. The matt platter runs loose after cleaning 2 or 3 records at a time. I have to remove the matt platter and tighten the shaft screws. I am growign tired of this excercise. I was wondering if there is any thing that can be done to fix this issue.

I will also call up VPI and ask about this problem, and see that they have to say.

Hello, Would you offhand know the part number for the 16.5? Would be good to know as a reference. Thank you, Mark

Hello Ken, Thank you for this information. I 'm a little confused, and unsure what you mean by "The balls of the Typhoon Motor"?

Are you saying that the Typhoon Motor is a better Motor that the 16.5 Motor, because it has better bearings in it?, or? Can you better explain please? Thank you. Mark

Hi Ken Thanks for the Info,
I checked at WW Grainger, have looked at both Motors, and it appears the Dayton Typhoon Platter Motor requires a Run Capacitor also (not much, just $5), and also mentions it has the capability to also reverse rotation. Cool.

Now, I wonder who makes the Vacuum Motor! lol
It appears buying direct is a bit cheaper than from VPI, right? Mark
