Turntable oil bearing
I'm willing to express a different idea. I use Wet Platinum, a silicone-based ... ahem ... "personal lubricant." It is slippery as heck and has not become overly viscous in my turntable. Besides, you might find some other interesting applications ...

Pat, they may have removed part of your stomach, but thank goodness they left your sense of humor intact. A massive coronary in the throes of orgasm, indeed! I myself hope to go by gunshot wound ... from some jealous husband when I'm 93 years old....

Pat, I think it's safe to say we Audiogoners speak with one voice when I say how sad it is to hear this news. You're one of the good guys here ... actually, one of the best ... and we wish you could stick around forever. But none of us have a "for...

Welcome back, Patrick! I'm sure it's a comfort, for both you and Barb, for you to be back home. I'm surprised -- happily surprised -- that you've been discharged: just yesterday you had so many tubes stuck in you that you looked like you got naile...

I spoke with Pat tonight. Poor guy has a dozen different tubes sticking out of him ... draining this, putting in that. They are giving him some nourishment via a feeding tube into his intestines, but the intestines have not yet "awakened" from the...

It's B.S. Enzymes cannot "eat" vinyl. The person who said that on AA also said that enzymes were living things, which they are not. They are proteins composed of amino acids, and they are harmless to elements in the environment. Enzymes are used i...

Hi Aceto (and everyone),Thank you for your kind comment. I don't mean to speak for Pat, but I think that, at this time, Pat needs exactly what has been shown to him on this thread: the support, care and concern of his many, many friends here to he... 
Really basic brush question
I vacuum off that line of dust -- it's the second step in my personal cleaning ritual (a zap with the Zerostat gun being the first step). But then again, I use a homemade RCM, and I can center that line of dust in the vac attachment and avoid havi...

Well, my reservations are made and I'll be arriving in Boise, Idaho, just about an hour before the New Year. Obviously, I wish the circumstances were better, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet a man whom I'm proud to call my friend, and ... 
Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?
Guys who make granite countertops don't have much use for the sink cut-outs. They are often appropriately sized for turntables, and you can acquire them inexpensively. The granite guys will often square-up the sides and can even polish the sides, ...
