    Default New machine...how to quiet reels

    Hey guys. Just picked up this baby. Man this collecting is addictive!!! Anywho, the reels seems to roar while active. Any way to lube them up or anything to silence the hum. They’re not grinding, it sounds like the motors are humming loud. And all three reels sound the same. Suggestions?

    Probably not much you can do about it. In a parlor environment it's barley noticeable.

    Addictive! What do you mean?

    Some brands do tend to be louder than others. See if the cage around the reels is loose. Some are held in place by screws and others with plastic clips. Also see how level the machine is. I needed to shim one of my cabinets at one outside corner to reduce the reel noise even though it was level.
