Also, the silcone dampening fluid in the arm can be purchased at any hobby shop for $10 (for a lifetime supply)...Yes, synthetic motor oil (5w20 Mobil 1) can be used for the platter bearing but lightweight Cst silicone fluid can be procured as well...The Classic is a great table at very affordable prices...
Thank you for your suggestions. I did buy a belt from Stanalog when he was still around. He seemed also to havenew bearings and motors. I do notice a slight wobble in my turntable platter---it will scrape against the motor assembly once per revolution if the turntable assembly isn't raised a bit. This can't be good. But it still sounds quite good to me.I have stopped playing any records until my cartridge is replaced. I will probably get a new van den Hul or a Lyra.I did find a fairly recent review of the Lyra in a French magazine that compares the Lyra Delos, the van den Hul Condor,and a really expensive CD player. All were good, but for most things the Condor was best. (for channel separation in the bass, the CD won). I might actually go for a Condor....looking for an "affordable" one. It will take some time.
