Michell Gyrodec, main bearing lube

I cleaned my VPI Superscoutmaster similar to how HDM describes.  ,,,the turntable was dragging and not staying on speed.   I used  Hoppes #9 gun cleaner that I use to clean my firearms.....boy did it do a wonderful job with the VPI.....steady as a rock!!

String...thanks for the tip!  Good idea!  I've been using rubbing alcohol and q-tips, but the Hoppes #9 will surely remove any type of residue! 

@quincy The Roksan TT's from the same era, also made a substantial effort to ensure their TT's were with Bearings that were above the typical goals being set for such parts in use on TT's.

It is good to hear that Michell in their own Wisdom addressed the Platter Bearing design in a similar way and the ling term rewards are still being discovered at the time of invasive inspections.

I am a little bit of a 'bearing eccentric' when it comes to my thoughts and intentions for a TT I am to use.

Well Jazz, it's been awhile!  Did you tackle the oil change yet!

I use Mobil 1 for my Gyrodec. And I replaced the original steel bearing with a ceramic one.  7/32 IN-C SI3N4 BALL GRADE 3 from bocabearings.com, they sell a 3 pack for around $5.
