Transrotor Zet3 questions

Thanks @dover , I have the spare oil kit. I used google translate app to get English instructions. Some steps i don't get, but i guess I'm going to have to figure it out. I will also need some lighter fluid it says for the cleanup of the oil. 

Also, that "contamination is visible" comment is interesting, not sure how I will be able to tell, but I guess ill change it every once in awhile once I figure it out.

Contamination is rare - if it is bearing wear you would see some in the oil - try tipping the oil out and have a look to see of it is clear. Pretty sure the Transrotor uses classic bronze sleeves/steel shaft.

I have used CRC electroclean to flush bearings ( spray nozzle has a tube attachment ), followed by CRC CO contact cleaner to remove any residue.

I always smear a little oil on the spindle ( particularly the tip ) before insertion to ensure no scouring occurs when inserting. This is important.

@dover the oil is definitely the bronze one. I will look for those Crc bottles thanks! Oh wow, so you put some on the spindle as well? Didn’t know that , I try not to let it touch when I put the platter on. I know the axel needs to be covered in it, that’s interesting !

You can use tissue paper to pull the oil out as well.  I would drain and start with fresh oil.  There are options out there for record weights with taller spindle height and if transrotor has one available I would go with that to start out with.

Good Luck

If it becomes necessary to clean out a bearing well with tissue paper, I recommend photographic lens paper, which is constructed so as not to leave behind tiny fragments of paper. You don't want such fragments in the bearing.
