Oil For Nottingham Spacedeck?

Generally with any turntable platter bearing(s) you can use a few drops of Dextron automatic transmission fluid with no worries!

Don't do it. You don't want to take a risk. So yes I paid about $100 for a small bottle. Other oils may be safe too, but you cannot know it. Besides, the table might sound better with the oil specifically formulated for the bearing.

I agree with Inna. I tried other fluids in my spacedeck. But nothing sounded as good as the Nott oil. And I could definitely hear a difference.

Shakey

Paying $100 for a bottle of motor oil reminds me those audiophile green felt tip pens! After 25+ yrs in this hobby I wish my ears were so fine-tuned as to be able to hear the difference in oil!!! Since the OP just purchased the TT, I'd LOVE for him to do a listening test and report his conclusions.
