Does anyone know what this is /likely/ to be:

3in1, some grade of motor oil, some hybrid concoction?



It's oil, Rob - anything from 10W40 motor oil to Olivio or Mazola will do. A
turntable bearing operating in 'human comfortable' on a 'normal' conditions
has got to be the least stressed bearing in the world!

(Maybe not so in the case of 56 lb platters and the like....!! ;-)

Phone Mike Harris (IIRC) at Moth:

And ask him what he used in the turntable there that has been running
continuously for about the last 20 years! (Power cuts excepted, presumably?)
