I don't have a scout but when I had a Vpi HW 19 Mk4 if I didn't align the motor to the platter correctly I would here the belt moving up and down on the platter. Bugged the sh.. out of me.
Whirring sound in Scoutmaster motor normal?
Hello,
I purchased a used Scoutmaster turntable and am setting it up. Is a whirring sound from the motor normal? I can just barely hear it when I stand with my head about 2 ft. from the motor, but if I put my ear near the motor it is clearly audible. Is this normal? There is also a "tisking" sound that happens at approximately .5 second intervals but varies in loudness. Could that be something on the belt?
Any recommendations for lubricant for platter bearing?
Thanks, Drew Harty
