[QUOTE="King_Julian_S, post: 1153688, member: 14111"] I also found this piece of advise of the net. In general, vintage idler turntables do not require grease or oil inside the spindle bearing cup. Idler turntables typically have a motor-driven idler wheel that contacts the inside rim of the platter to rotate it. The spindle bearing, located underneath the platter, supports the weight of the platter and allows it to spin smoothly. The spindle bearing cup is typically a precision-machined part with close tolerances, designed to operate without additional lubrication. Applying grease or oil to the spindle bearing cup can actually attract dust and debris, leading to increased friction and potential damage to the bearing over time. [/QUOTE]
