thanks JohnMichael
yes i found the deepgroove subplatter here:
http://www.musicdirect.com/products/...ku=ADEEPGROOVE
and the rega motor upgrade here:
http://www.musicdirect.com/products/...=&sku=AREP3MUP
but i think i'll try the oil change first before buying all these upgrades
(the reason i have the vintage planar 2 is for the budget - these two upgrades cost more than i spent to buy the tt) i just want to be able to play my records! i suppose if the oil change doesn't help i'll have to replace the motor. thanks for your help...
