Quoted from acons017:At the top of this page click on “TOPIC INDEX (KEY POSTS)”. Make sure to load all 17 saved posts. Check out the grinding info post. Worked for me. Hasn’t come back after more than a year of play.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I had seen that post and had followed those instructions, applying a bit of oil but not taking it apart.
I took it apart twice today, oiling a bit the first time and using more the second time. I actually thought I fixed it the second time because the pizza test I ran had no rattling/grinding for about 20 seconds. Then I started playing it and 2 games in, the issue was back.
I attached a picture showing where I applied the most oil (metal cylinder at base of part). Am I supposed to be putting oil between the pizza disc and the taped area? If so, what did you all do to get the oil in to such a narrow gap without dripping it all over the part?
The grinding noise is definitely coming from when the pizza does not spin freely and instead is rattling around. I can even notice the difference visually when it is rattling vs. when it is freely moving. It seems like oil will eventually fix it but my 3 attempts to oil so far haven't been enough.
