Question for TW Acustic Owners

I was told by Jeff at HWS to do it every six months.

If the lube you are using is the older spray can type which was very thin I would recommend 3 times a year. If you are using the newer squeeze bottle type which is much more viscous and adheres to the bearing twice a year is probably sufficient. It also depends on your listening time. I listen 2 to 3 hours each day 7 days a week so I pull the platter at least 3 or 4 times each year and apply lubrication.

I asked Thomas this question a couple of months back.

He said every 12 months.

Cheers

Phil...I e-mailed Jeff the same question when I got my Raven One last year. His response:

Standard oiling is one drop on the ball of the spindle bearing and one drop in the bearing well. If two drops, ok but, no more.
I would do it every 6 months. Each time, wipe each surface clean with a dry cotton cloth. No chemicals and then, re oil.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Though I feel Thomas' recommendation sounds more correct, Elinor's comment on use makes good sense.
