Turntable maintenance

[kitkat]

Should you oil the motor on turntables ?

The motor? Not yourself - it might feasibly be done as part of a service, but oil and electricity do not mix, on the whole.

The bearing, only very occasionally, and again I'd leave it to pros, depending on the make and model.

I'll echo what John said. I wouldn't go near it unless you're qualified to do a service.

Surely atleast some models have sealed bearings?

Motors? I'm sure they do, but I don't fancy trying to make sure the oil only goes in them
