As the motor noise is doing my fruit in when I start to play my records- I have some grease which came with my clearaudio cleaning kit- but where do I find the bearings to add the grease?....or perhaps the rubber to the platter is worn...but how can I tell?

No noise when motor is running on it's own...so must be the platter belt then?True Blue:Take the platter off and turn on. If noise still there its the bearings. Not sure how/where to grease on your turntable.
Most are sealed units, never to be greased. The bearing islocated where the shaft comes out of the motor. There may be a grease point but I doubt it.

ah ha...just found out what was causing the noise. on top of the motor a black plastic top was loose..so when I turned the motor on, it would spin the top loose- which in turn made the noise
