What would you recommend (for an Acoustic Research "The AR
Turntable")?
I think I've always put 3-in-1 in my Thorens t/table!
3 in 1 isn't usually the ideal choice since it is designed for other
jobs than just plain lubrication. In rather the same way as WD40. Both
sort of work for many assorted jobs, but may not be the very best for a
single task.
From my perusing of the various TT forum discussions on this topic,
there appear to be two types of "3 in 1" available, one with WD40 type
additives and one that's just a simple lubricating oil. However, since
Huge neglected to specify which flavour of "3 in 1" he'd used, his
implied suggestion isn't entirely helpful to the OP's quest.
All I can suggest to the OP is that if he decides to go with Huge's
suggestion, he chooses which type of "3 in 1" with more care than Huge
took in offering his 'pearl of wisdom' (assuming he hasn't already been
put off by Huge's other postings in this thread).
