Question for TW Acustic Owners

Phil...I e-mailed Jeff the same question when I got my Raven One last year. His response:

Standard oiling is one drop on the ball of the spindle bearing and one drop in the bearing well. If two drops, ok but, no more.
I would do it every 6 months. Each time, wipe each surface clean with a dry cotton cloth. No chemicals and then, re oil.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Though I feel Thomas' recommendation sounds more correct, Elinor's comment on use makes good sense.

A while back I realized that I had gone over a year with out a lube job. When I pulled the platter there was plenty of lube still there and it looked fine. After relubing there was no change in sound that I could tell. That is with the newer lube that Elinor described. I listen to 3 hours of actual playing time twice a week on average. So once a year seems to be enough.

Thanks for all the answers and responses everyone. Td, it sounds like out listening schedules are about the same. I have the newer squeeze bottle oil/lube.

Any indication to lubricate the motor like I did with the VPI motors?

No motor lube under any circumstance.
