Are you suggesting that the platter spindle on your VPI Super Scoutmaster bearing does not spin with the platter? I can't imagine that VPI would design their turntables like that!
What you are describing is called an inverted bearing when the bearing shaft is bolted to the plinth and the bushing and thrust-plate are connected to the spinning platter. My Sota Millennia is designed this way but its spindle is connected to the spinning part of its bearing and spins with the platter.
I think the spindles on VPI turntables are also connected to the spinning part of the bearing so they spin with the platter. Am I wrong? Does the spindle on your VPI actually remain stationary as the platter spins? I can't imagine that would be good! On the contrary, I think it would generate noise as the record turned against a stationary spindle. My Sota Millennia is definitely not designed like that. It's spindle is connected directly to its platter and spins with the platter.
