Does your PowerPro sound like this? Seems a bit noisy to me

[deacm]

I was always impressed when I got my new PowerPro headstock as to how quiet it was. Suddenly it doesn't seem to be as quiet. I'm not so sure, but before I tear into it I wanted to know if anyone else's sounds like this and is this normal. Attached are three 10 second videos at slow/medium/high speed to see what you think. It's kind of a chirping sound and a wobble at higher speeds. Thank you. OK.....WELL APPARENTLY YOU CAN'T ATTACH VIDEO TO THIS SITE. SO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LET ME KNOW IF 'CHIRP' OR 'WOBBLE' IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE HEARING ;-)

Maybe best if you pop the rear cover and have a look at the belts and make sure the pulleys are not loose. I have two powerpro headstocks and one has need belt adjustments a couple of time already and the other just once. The one that I have adjusted only once has a lot more time on it as well???????

I had an odd noise once and it turned out to be the hub on the quick-index quill. It has come loose twice so I've had to add some gunk to the threads so it stays tight. I guess it has something to do with the vibration or pulses of the powerpro. Any way those odd noises are not fun to hear and it is best to find the source and take care of them. Lots of parts can rattle and not be an issue but others are less forgiving.
