[HELP] NOISY PRO-JECT CARBON

[jrtrent]

Here are some videos of it:

If I were in your situation, I'd take the 'table to a local dealer and see what it would take for him to fix it. If there is no local dealer, you have those fine videos to send to the importer; I would seek out their recommendation. They could probably sell you any parts you may need. Or, as others have suggested, just count it a loss and move on.

Yep thats the motor and not the missing grommets. get e new motor. or if your mechanical inclined take the motor apart and try to lube clean it up and lube it in the right spots and reassemble to see if it quits down. nothing to loose if you off it up since its no good the way it is now.

After trying a few things it is clear the noise is coming from the motor itself, not anything it is vibrating against. Could that still mean it is the grommets? I have completely removed the belt and platter and it still whines and grinds its way through it. Sometimes it is louder than other times it is the strangest thing. Recently, I turn it on to test the noises and it spins backwards, I can reset and send it the proper way by powering on/off but it can take a few times. I'll try and upload a video of the noises to youtube and post a link in here. As always, thank you all for your help, any input is welcome!

After this explanation.......YOU HAVE A BAD MOTOR. Grommets will not fix this. I wish you well. New motor cost is about 50 dollars.
