Spindle oil

The type of lubricant depends on the type of bearing. I would stick with what the manufacturer uses.

Have been using 3-in-One oil on my Oracle MKII. Been doing it for 20 yrs. with no problems.

I use maiden oil. They ought to sell this stuff in a health food store. It's sure good for what ails you. It even whitens your teeth.

Slappy, you really need to quit milking those snakes. They'll bite you some day.

Seriously, I use the manufacturers oil and I don't know why. The proper weight motor oil should work fine. Hell, even an improper weight oil would probably work great.

I use what Rega recommends,80w/90 Gear Oil(2 drops only).

Along with about a half dozen other projects i have going right now, i'm in the process of slowly setting up two different tables. While they don't mention the suitability of this product for use in turntable's, i'm probably going to try using TufOil in one of them. Since it is the most slippery substance known to man, i can't see anything doing a better job of lubricating the bearing / reducing drag on the motor. Sean
