Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms


Would like to refurbish my FR-64s .... Has someone made it? Experience? Who?

In my ''former life'' when Dertonarm was member I got from him
the best advices possible. Regarding the bearings and VTF 
''spring'' the advice was to put the arm in the sun. The ''trick''
is borrowed from watch makers . Back then , as far as I know,
Syntax and Dertonarm ( the tonearm) were best friends. ..
He also ''rewired'' friends tonearms with Ikeda silver wire. Later
on Dertoarm produced, among other, his own tonearms which
got very good revieuws. He made his forum name the actual
fulfilment. For the more pragmatic members the question
''what will be the price of my present gear on the second hand
market''? is the relevant question. I don't believe that adding
$800 to the ''imagined asking price'' will do. Except of cource
if one who does not own his own horse would prefer to be
buried with his ''refurbished'' FR-64/66 precious. 








 
The (not asked) question is ''do all bearings need lubrication?'' 
Looking at internet for answer I found the following: ''one can
use dry bearings for slow moving application such as tonearms
and clock bearing. But one should use ''stainless steel '' kind.
Which btw are used in FR-64/66. 
But now about Syntax, He is ,according to me, typical Kantian.
He use expression ''absolute'' very often. Mostly in the contaxt:
of ''he knows absolute nothing''. I was wise not to ask what he 
thinks about me but quess that he likes my (Balkan?) humor. 
This however is mixed blessing because the Dutch colectivly
deny any sense for humor to Germans.
Hello Nandric, some philosophical deep analysis you were doing last night, I'm not very familiar with everyone's identity but IIRC weren't you Slavic? Which will make syntax German? (the Kant reference).
I am myself Latin, at your service. 
And I got lost again, for some reason I was under the impression the original bearings were made out of ruby, not stainless steel, I absolutely know nothing 😂
