Well tempered question?

Hello,
I recently bought a traded-in Well Tempered turntable that has a Grado Sonata installed. The damping material, in the arm cup, seems a bit high as i move the arm from side to side. I have the original owner's manual but it doesn't reference what the damping material viscosity should be for the arm. I apologize if this has been covered before, but does anyone know what the Well Tempered folks would have packed with the table?
Thanks!

I guess I haven't reached that level of frustration yet. My other turntables are a Maplenoll and an AR, two widely divergent designs that seem to be at opposite ends of the "pain-in-the-neck" scale. The WT seems somewhere in the middle and I like the originality of the designer.
I believe Skippy Creamy is 220,000 cSt at room temperature.
Cheers!

Hi Lewm
The arm's damping can be changed by lowering or raising the paddle in the cup. Once correct damping is set then it's forget and play. In the newer Amadeus it's as simple as lowering or raising the cup for damping.. Can't remember if my Ref worked that way or not.

I gave up. My dear friend is not using the WTR any longer. He and I watch movies instead.
