That is pure BS that the new one may make the same noise. If it is set up right and all bearing are good then there is no whine.. ---- Chris Strohmeyer <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thx Paul, > > Your response actually made me feel a little better because I would behave the same way you did! The shop told me the R @ P looked good and that pleased me because of the cost of a new one. Is it possible that it looked good but you just can't tell if it's going to make noise until you run it?
