VPI Classic Motor Lubrication

Get some of VPI's magic lube...it comes in a hypodermic looking injector gizmo. If there is any old crud on the bearing when you remove the platter, get rid of it with a towel. Put just a bit of that magic lube on the tip of the bearing. Put some Mobil 1, or the same stuff that VPI includes for damping the arm on the shaft and reinsert the platter...don't force it. Put a drop of what you are using on the shaft by the brass piece on top of the motor. Wipe off any slop you may have deposited there,....careful you don't put any on the shaft or the belt where they meet.

Dordevic...Perhaps that Magic Lube I mentioned IS lithium grease...I don't know. I use Magic Lube on the bearing of my Superscoutmaster Rim Drive with great results. Use the lighter oil...the damping fluid, or the Mobil 1 on the shaft of the platter, and the drop into the motor.
