Transrotor Zet3 questions

Thanks, never thought of the paper before, I thought maybe scott towels would hopefully not leave any residue behind. but lens paper is smart!

I went to check back some email exchanges, and should have mentioned this important part. The turntable was barely used for 100 hours total (I think he only owned the table for 6 months). Technically, I have to imagine, the oil hasn't been used long enough, the only issue is, as I mentioned, I don't know exactly how much has spilled out in total, so not sure if I put 1/3 of the tube might be good enough? 

@dover Is the CRC CO contact cleaner similar to using lighter fluid to clean up as recommended by Transrotor? I will be buying their Laser Clean, which I wonder if it will do a similar job, I definitely do not want to use lighter fluid.

Lens paper for photography or microscopes is what I use to remove the oil from my TT bearing every couple of years.  Wrap around a cotton swab it is absorbent enough that if the oil is not contaminated (contamination is rare) it will remove almost all the old oil without the need for any “cleaner”.  Follow directions for volume to place into the bearing and how to coat the all parts you will be good for a while. Scott paper towels are theoretically too “rough” compared to lens paper.  Probably theoretical for a these bearings but appear towels will scratch microscope lenses.

The CRC CO contact cleaner is low volatility - it's quite mild - but the good thing is that it leaves no residue. It's quite useful for flushing out. The CRC Electroclean is more heavy duty in removing grease and oil, quite safe, but I always flush with the CRC CO after to be sure there is no residue.
