I cleaned my VPI Superscoutmaster similar to how HDM describes. ,,,the turntable was dragging and not staying on speed. I used Hoppes #9 gun cleaner that I use to clean my firearms.....boy did it do a wonderful job with the VPI.....steady as a rock!!
Michell Gyrodec, main bearing lube
I've had my Michell Gyrodec for a little less than ten years and have never lubed the main bearing since I did it during set up. Artech, its distributor, says it should be done every five to six years. Instructions for lubrication look very complicated and easily screwed up. Does anyone on this board have experience lubing the main bearing? How has that gone? Any cautions or suggestions based on experience?
