How Much Bearing Oil In LP12

All the way to the top. Let the excess drip out. Place a towel 'round/under platter.

You may already have this, but the Analogue Addicts LP12 faq is useful reading: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/4133/lp12_faq.txt

Usually about 30-34 drops. Just enough to where it doesn't quite spill out the top

How do you know it even needs oil if you have to ask "how much..."maybe you shouldn't be fooling with it. Good Luck

Depends on if you have Cirkus or pre-Cirkus.

Cirkus takes much less oil, only about 10 drops will be plenty. Use a flash light, you'll see that the oil will cover the bearing (a ball).

On non cirkus, when you use the flash light to look inside, you'll see the white nylon sleeve going all the way and stop. There is only a flat disc on the bottom. You want to fill up the gap between the disc to the bottom of the sleeve. One of the previous post like 30-34 drops sounds about right.

Over fill is OK, but with a Cirkus bearing, it will be a pain because you will have spilled the majority of the over filled oil.
