Shame about George, I always had good dealings with him.
I ended up ordering the 100,000 cst goo for the arm off of eBay for three bucks and change for each 10cc bottle and went with Mobil 1 5/30W for the platter.
I just made another platform for my other "new" WT out of a two hunks of a large wood shelf (Home Depot), a can of Krylon Black Satin paint from Wally World and 4 sorbothane risers from Rick Ott:

I did try using the maple bucher blocks from Wally World but they're too small for the early Well Tempereds. However, they do make a nice gift for the wife.
