I have a Seeburg V200 that recently started to make a very subtle thump or vibration once per revolution of the turntable. It is only noticable when playing quiet sections of the record. When the needle first sets down and after the music stops it is most noticable and the noise only lasts for the first two or three records played. Lately it has been getting a little louder. I can now sometimes hear it during quieter sections of the music.

I'm going to slide the turntable to the left and try oiling the inner turntable bearings and I'd like to replace the rubber drive bushings while in there. Is there a sorce for the rubber drive bushings and the bearings? If bushings and oil doesn't help I'll remove the cam, loosen the stripper plate assembly and replace the bearings.

Any other ideas for the cause of this noise would be appreciated.

I would look for "gunk" in the "fiber gear" first--
Turntable bearings do not usually need oil--
One of the suppliers listed above, has a "Seeburg rubber drive package" , for sale.

Thank you Ron. Do you lubricate the fiber gear? If so what do you use?

Hi Juker,
ALL old "stuff" must be fully removed, then I use #3 Dixon Graphite grease, very sparingly, topped with a thin coating of # 20 Wt. ND oil. ( as 'splained in my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide")
