New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

I have recently purchased a maplenoll ariadne. I have tried to learn a little about the table but find very little information. I know the table was discontinued in the 90's but the little i have found indicated it is a very good table. I am interested to learn if there are any tricks or problems to optimizing this table. As most of you probably know, it is an air bearing platter and tonearm. I plan on putting my zxy airy 3 on the arm once I get it set up.

Why the DR-500 model versus the others in the "SilentAir" range? Was that the suggestion of the tech? There is not very much information on the pumps internal configuration etc.. on the web page.

Thanks for the info Crem1

I wonder if the DR-500 has an air conditioner, or Filter with a oil/water separator.

What is the discerning factor that one has the "Super Quiet" pump (SQP). Other then then the obvious, of it being quieter, what are the visual cues that one has a super quiet pump? I believe that the SQP was an option.

What are individuals using as the replacment for the lubrication of the top air bearing? ( the grease substance that originally came in a syringe) As well as the replacement for the viscous oil in the trough?

What about replacment belts?
