Pro-Ject supplied new instructions and a pack of grease for the 2nd batch (which I have). I've had no issues at all with this.
I believe it now comes with a plastic socket that the arm sits in - so no metal to metal contact anymore.
The other small thing is the foam/pad on the clamps, they can soak up the solution and it can end up on the labels (which it should be protecting). Not sure if they changed this at all but it's not a huge issue if you don't get lots of solution right next to it. I removed them and used some thin o-ring material instead which is perfect.
