Post Subject: Much to do about oil.Posted by jam on: 11/13/2017
The oil I use has a viscosity of about 30-31 and I have used it for years with no problems. I have tried about six different viscosity oils and grease and the best results were with in the range I specified for (sound as well as mechanically), please feel free to experiment. I have done these experiments both with the RX-1500 and RX-5000. I also find using a lower viscosity oil helps adjusting belt tension easier.Modern synthetics are much better than lubricants were forty years ago. I remember when we used dolphin based oil in tape decks because there were no alternatives. Micro used the best compromise they had at the time..........but then you don't have to take my word for it. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
