When I 1st re-assembled I could hear it rubbing, I just loosened the screws, moved the plate till it was quiet while it was running and tightened the screws.
    Just a bit of warning: When talking to "good old hifi" in Berlin who has serviced some German TTS-8000 it was mentioned that starting the TT without the platter could result in the chip controlling the XTAL-Lock to fail.

    So i you start the TT without the platter (I dont dare that..) at least disable the XTal-lock.

    If the XTAL-lock fails (IC: OKI MSN5576) there is right now some available on the bay - I have bought my share.

    Another solution is listed here: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index....n-cmos.784237/

    May our chips last forever

    Carsten, noted thanks. All this info is great, there's very little out there about the TTS

    I was looking at SAE30 ISO 100 oil on ebay and found this oil for Olite Sintered Bronze Bushing/Bearings. Would it be ok or should I go for a compressor oil as Jamie suggested like this or this?

    Thanks Jamie. When googling the Anderol I came across a link on pfm to Technics SFW0010 Turntable Direct Drive Oil for the 1210. Based on nothing more than the fact it is specifically for DD turntables it strikes me as a safe option.

    I tried the Techie oil today and I think it is too thin for the Sony as I got some bearing noise. Awaiting SAE30 anxiously.

    Many thanks to Mark and Jamie for their help with this today.

    Being short of time, I just added some SAE20 fully synthetic oil (it's what I used in the TD124) to the Sony bearing to try it out. With the Hadcock 242SE/Decca SC4E it sounds fantastic - amazing dynamics and texture, and revealing of lots of subtleties that I hadn't noticed before. I must go back and clean the bearing out properly when I get a chance...
