SME 20/2 Spindle/bearing


Is the bearing/spindle on a SME 20/2A TT accessable to be cleaned? Secondly, is anyone using anything other than the "SME" supplied spindle oil? I'd like to find something that doesnt have to be ordered from England, if possible.

Rislone engine treatment. 6-8.00 a quart. smells like gun oil. Slippery stuff, very thin and smells like gun oil. Better than eatin' bugs.

Why do you want to do that job? The SME spindle and bearing are kind of a one and done. Did yours get contaminated in some way? Personally I would stick to the SME oil if you choose to move forward.

Please read your manual on the subject.  Like geof3 said one and done.

Also most automotive oils have detergents in them that turntables do not need.
