Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?

Great thread folks, but Larry's out of luck.

Strange as it seems, I have his syringe of blue juice here in CT. It makes me feel so good I'm keeping it! Bwahahahaha...

BTW, there's about 1.9cc left in the syringe. Maybe 4yanx or sirspeedy can guess how much is likely to be in Larry's arm well based on that.

For removing large amounts, can't you just suck it back out with the syringe? Then add one drop at a time with the syringe? If it's pickier then that, stick a needle on the syringe and you can meter out pretty tiny drops.

Larry, check your email.

Better to hollow out a 16 penny nail than try to drive that stuff through any needle. It's an H of a lot easier just to dip a Q-tip in to remove a bit unless you feel the need to recycle the stuff. Roll it up on a Q-tip and you can remove about a fourth of what's in there in about, oh, 3 seconds.

I think there is 2.5cc in a full syringe, but I'm not sure. Doug, if you have the syringe in front of you and it says there's 1.9cc left, it should be easy to tell how much is gone, and thereby into Larry's arm (tonearm) - provided Larry only used it once. I'll wager there is about 0.6cc missing. I am at work and will check my part full and full syringes when I get home.

David,

Thanks for all of the help and advice. I will drain the damping fluid from my Graham 2.2 and start from scratch when I have a long weekend to work my way through the process of finding the ideal amount of fluid for my set up and report back.

I don't know if I have the patience to keep fiddling with this arm. Azimuth, overhang, VTA, VTF, antiskating now damping fluid. All I know is I have it pretty well dialed in so I think I'll spend my time listening to records.
