In the Thread: Copper Mat on a Micro Seiki Gun Metal Platter
Post Subject: Rx-5000Posted by jam on: 11/6/2017
Hi Measet,
The oil I would use is Zoomspout, it works great. I have a platter with a similar profile that Wellington has, my second RX-5000 has a stainless platter made by Micro Seiki with the same dimensions as the original gun metal platter.
Just flip the thrust plate over and use the side without the dimple, do not try to use a different material for the thrust plate (eg. Carbide) as it will start to wear pretty soon. Your motor looks in great shape,  the rotor can be protected with on a light coat of lacquer. I would replace the O-ring seal on the bottom of thge bearing.
You can get hold of me at jsomasundram@hotmail.com if you need any further help.
