If so, how do you know that the level you see (with no platter) is in fact the right level?? Andy ........experience.... I watched Harry at Audio Genesis ......then Peter Swain .... Tase.

Owen Y Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 With capillary action, you can find that the oil gets drawn up into the magnet gap - esp when the platter is stationary. Not a problem, at least you know that there plenty of oil in the main bearing. Cheers, Owen http://darklanternforowen.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure - I understand the usefulness of watching experts at work. But did they say "the level of the oil needs to be 'x' mm below the lip of the Cirkus bearing, for it to be completely full but not overflow, when the bearing stub is fully down"?

Cheers, Owen http://darklanternforowen.wordpress.com/ You've lost me there Owen....no oil will get drawn up into the magnet gap...all the oil stays or should stay within the cirkus bearing housing Tase.

Andy this method stops overfill into or onto the subchassis.....especially a Keel. Pete was quite pedantic about overfil... 10 drops then check....if the spindle is fully lubed when removed there is enough in there the screwdriver dip stick should show about 7mm..

Tase Thanks, Tony. Forget the 10 drops - as that depends on how low the oil was, to start with. But, yes, if the spindle is fully lubed then it is great to know that the screwdriver dipstick shows about 7mm. (But we need to use the same sized - ie. volume - screwdriver! ) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did "The whole Kit and Caboodle' earlier this year on my "Naim" pimped Sondek.The Bearing was clagged with junk which I informed Edmond of... eventually I managed to clean the bearing with Solvents and degreasing type products.. you'd think they came from the same manufacturer as all 3 items work absolutely fab together IMO...

andyr Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Readers of this thread should note that the last 3 posters all have one of Duc's "Univector" arms on their LP12 (Peter) / pimped LP12 (Tase) / SkeletaLinn (moi). As well as Edmund's composite inner platter. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big improvement, as long as it’s adjusted correctly, keeping the distance between magnets at a bare minimum fully loaded, for maximum effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
