Morning all,
I've been trying to find out about this, but as usual, Michell's literature is useless.
I think I noticed the deck playing a little slow a couple of times this morning, so I took the platter off to have a look at the bearing. I had a look inside the cylindical bronze bearing housing (that has the little 'thrust ball' in it), and it looks like there's no oil in it. The one part of the Michell blurb that I understood was that there should be 2mm of oil.
I know this may sound uber stupid, but I want to make sure I get this right. Where does the oil go? Do I literally pour it into the bronze bearing housing, by turning it upside down and pouring it into the well?
Also, what oil do you recommend? Michell say, if you don't use their own, then 0-40 motor is what to use. Any other suggestions?
