Turntable


Is a good idea to put Metal Lube on turntable,s spindle?

I understand audio as alchemy. Many times things are discovered by association with other uses as in research.
It's another lubricant, no more, no less.  Maybe it is superior to other common choices for turntable bearings.  Maybe not.  I think Miguel raised an interesting question, but none of us is qualified to say yea or nay, since none of us has used it for this application.  But it's not "magic".  The first thing that I would verify before using it on a turntable is whether it is corrosive for either the bearing (which is typically a ball made of an exotic metal) or the thrust plate.  If not, have fun.
Mr. M, I will answer the question you posed to EBM by referring you to my post just above which mentions that an unknown complex lubricant might contain additives that could be corrosive for the ball bearing or the thrust pad. To know whether that could be a problem you would need to know the composition of the ball bearing and of the thrust pad and of the new lubricant that you want to try. In this case, we know none of these things. After that, you would need to consider the actual new lubricant and whether it is indeed superior to known good lubricants for the turntable bearing.
