Micro Seiki DD-40 Turntable Tone arm lifter repair

I had had a very fast lowering (dare I say drop?) of my tonearm when I purchased this years ago. Finally got around to disassembling it, purchasing some 300 000 silicone tonearm lubricant, and putting it all back together. I forgot to take a video of the piston with the lube on it, but after reading of a few others with issues of a ‘farting sound’ due to too much silicone I was careful not to use too much. Just filled the grooves, and lightly greased the rest. The silicone oil here is the AK 300000 by Wacker® as recommended in the service manuals for Dual turtables. All is well now!

Good information

Thx for the video. I'm waiting for the postman to bring some synthetic oil. Did you dip the arm lift in the oil to fill those grooves?

[@DanSmith-jk4tw]

No problem. I actually just dropped it on if I recall with the syringe that the oil came in. Surprised how little it took to make such a difference.

hi I also use Micro dd-7 it also has anti skating not good, I want to ask you that you just remove and oil the 2 grooves on that shaft right?

What synthetic oil?

Sorry just saw this. Ordered from EBay. Seller in Hamburg. Search Silicone Damping Oil fluid AK 300000 for turntable tonearm lift
