Well tempered question?


Hello,
I recently bought a traded-in Well Tempered turntable that has a Grado Sonata installed. The damping material, in the arm cup, seems a bit high as i move the arm from side to side. I have the original owner's manual but it doesn't reference what the damping material viscosity should be for the arm. I apologize if this has been covered before, but does anyone know what the Well Tempered folks would have packed with the table?
Thanks!

I recently resurrected my Well Tempered Classic that had been in storage for 6 years. I had questions about if I had the right amount of damping material and began an extensive search. I did find some references to the viscosity on the web but everyone seemed to be guessing. Contacting the manufacturer got no response. There are a few old yahoo well tempered user groups and maybe they can help you. Ultimately, my local dealer checked out my table and set it up for me and I was good to go so I stopped looking. If you find the answer please share. btw, I don't have the manual. Is there anyway you could provide me a copy? I'd really appreciate it. Also, you might want to contact my dealer, Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image www.acousticimage.com in Studio City. He's a great guy with decades of experience and knowledge about well tempered and everything analogue.
Hello Grand,
Thanks for the response, I'll be happy to send you copies of anything I have. All I would need would be an address. I believe I have the Well Tempered Record Player, but the owner bought the upgrade platter. I've ordered some silicone damping material with different viscosities from Turntable Basics and have put a nice gloss to the black piano finish plinth. Thanks for the Acoustic Image reference, I'll send an email.
