Help DPS turntable bearing oil needed

Hello

I have a DPS 3 turntable that requires some silicon oil. I am from Australia and to my amazement the so called distributor does not stock any, nor was he willing to order any for me! I also have tried Soundscape in singapore, he also does not stock any as well.

So i tried emailing Willi from DPS directly. He responded that it will cost $$$ euros. I emailed him back( 4 times) for him to provide preferred method of payment. Its been 8 days and not a response back!!!

Ayre in the US do not have an email contact address so i cant contact them.

I cant believe how hard it is to obtain this stuff!!! I am willing to pay for it, yet no-one stocks it and the manufacturer does not respond.

Please help

So help me guys.

Hi Restock.

How long does the belt last for? How do you know when it needs replacing?

I must of gotten one of the last DPS turntables in Australia because the guy who sold it to me had an extra bearing and an extra uncut acrylic armboard.

Cheers
