Help, my shrimpo to whisper is really noisy. I mean the motor. It runs fine otherwise, but honestly I may need to wear earplugs to use it. It's been sitting idle for a couple of years and I'd really love to start my studio back up
It could be the motor or it could be the bearings. Your best bet is to make a video with your phone and send it off the Shimpo. Chances are they'll be able to identify the sound. It wouldn't hurt to post the video here on the forum, too, as someone may have had the same experience as you.
