Michell Gyro motor noise

Can somebody give me some advice please.

The motor on my Michell Gyro is making a very faint "rapid ticking" when running. It is not anywhere near as audible when you take the belt off the pulley. I read that if you take the pulley wheel off the top ( using the tiny hex head bolt ) and put a drop of the bearing oil down the spindle that should fix it but I don't want to go putting oil anywhere until I know whats what.

I bought the turntable from a very reputable ( and rich ) guy who had bought it on a whim, then never used it. It sat unused for a year. I cleaned and oiled the bearing sump when I got it but never touched the motor.
 
I would give Michell a call, there normally very helpful and will advise the appropriate route. Also I suspect they are back after there two week summer break.
 
Could be that the pulley is sitting slightly too low and hitting something.
Try bringing it up a mm.
