Thanks for the clarification Mark. Much appreciated.

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

I'm mark.
Carsten, noted thanks. All this info is great, there's very little out there about the TTS
im no oil expert but it would seem the first one you linked to is a hydraulic oil? im not sure if that matters?
im using the one in the 2nd link,i also have this one too, http://www.millersoils.co.uk/product...-white-oil/317
id also like to try some ANDEROL 465.

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.
me too ive just ordered some

I'm Patrick.
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...
