[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 880775, member: 2310"] I wouldn't obsess much - it's not a Linn. Sewing machine oil works well. It's very thin mineral oil, free of additives and it will do the job just fine in the bronze bushings of the motor and bronze sleeves of the platter bushing. NEVER use oils that may contain any additives for sintered bronze bushings because they clog up the pores in the bronze. Never use any WD40 or many equivalents, they they fill the pores in bronze with wax. Forget about the lithium soap. With it, in commonly available oils, you will also get sulphur which is lethal to copper which is the main component of bronze (and brass) alloys. [/QUOTE]
