For the record: I mailed Sony in the distant hope that they have some info about which lubricant was originally used on the bearing of the TTS-8000. I know its a long shot, but will pass their response on.
Others have discussed the oil in bearings of Sony Tables, but I can't find one which states which oil was used on the TTS-8000:
