Grease my Pink Triangle!

[Darren]

My Mark One Pink Triangle is at last getting set up in my work system. Sadly the inverted bearing seems almost devoid of oil. Am I right in recalling that these used a thick oil/grease that clung to the bearing? any ideas what to buy?

Thanks boys.

Hi Neil,

er.... Could you expand a little?:scratch:

As I recall, it was a graphite grease.

Hi Neil,

It's the name given to the substance that went on the bearing. It was not like normal bearing oil, as it had a thicker consistency.

Thanks neil. Might have a word with Arthur afterall. Molyslip has also been suggested - makes a kind of sense I guess.

You know i had what i thought the best two turntables at the time: Logic 'DM101' & PT 1'..i absolutly loved both so lived with both.This did my head in tbh because both gave stong points in different areas.. To me back then nothin out of the UK mattered, i ignored all the crap Mags gave out.UK Rules in my book.

Would molybdenum disulphide (spelling?) grease be suitable - As used in CV joints
