Technics 1200 - Bearing Oil, what type?
View this Thread in Original format

Time for oiling the bearings on the 1200's and am curious as to what types of Oil you devoted 1200 owners use.

I found an actual Technics brand oil that can be purchased, but I was hoping someone knew of a product with similar viscosity. Any help would be appreciated !

EDIT:

Apparently 5-30W synthetic motor oil works well. shall look for a 20w viscosity:p

This one works really well. I've gotten a much smoother startup than with the Technics oil, only thing the pitch goes off a bit because it glides much better so you get about +/- 12 pitch, but the pitch fader still seems pretty absolute on , so it's not hard to get used to.
