The turntable is running at the right speed,&nbsp; it&#39;s just that as I&#39;m rewiring the arm I thought I&#39;d service the other bits. The centre bearing in more modern turntables usually has some sort of Hypoid oil in it.&nbsp; Any ideas or should I leave it alone?&nbsp; All the best Richard<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/92553.aspxThu, 28 Feb 2008 13:11:41 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:92553Craig0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/92553.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=92553<p>Hi, and welcome to Beoworld. Do I take it from you post that your turntable is running slow. This is a common problem with older turntables. What happens is the grease in the motor dries out and form a rather effective glue. This causes the motor to run slow. What you need to do is strip the motor down clean all the parts in Isopropanol for 24 hrs then reassemble, lubricating the parts with Sewing Machine Oil. Do not use 3 in 1 oil as the anti corrosive additives make it acidic. Did this myself to a Beogram 1203, so it must be an easy job to do.<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /> </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/92446.aspxThu, 28 Feb 2008 03:51:40 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:92446richardgearing0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/92446.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=92446Hello, how do I lubricate the turntable bearing and with what? Are there any other parts that require grease etc? Thanks for any suggestions Richard<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>
