VPI HW-19 or VPI Traveler

Lithium grease has been used on the inverted bearing,  I don't recall seeing it recommended for the non-inverted bearing.  

Mobil 1 is fine.  I have also used the synthetic variety of Slick 50.

Upon the recommendation of the tech who repaired my TNT bearing I now use a much thicker oil.

You made the right choice. I use a few drops of Castrol HD 40 weight oil to lube the bearing.
Enjoy your new table!

Thanks everyone. I'll touch base about how to oil once I get the table. 

Can anyone suggest a cartridge alignment tool for this table/ tonearm combo? 

I use the Mobile Fidelity Geo-Disc!

+1 on the Mobil 1.    I like the 0W-20.
