Michelle on-route service.

I own Michelle Gyro SE turntable with Incognito RB300 arm.
This is so-far the turntable that I've been using quite a while and plan to use it even much more.
I wonder how often I should refill the oil in plater spindel?
Should I clean or re-grease suspention?
I also would like to know if I have to do anything with arm in that sence.

Purchase a spare belt...keep it in a sealed zip lock bag and out of the sun (UV rays are bad for rubber). According to the "Needle Doctor" (who I asked this exact question) the belt can last up to five years or as little as six months. Go figure. I am going to change the belt every two years just for good measure. If you have the 'new' dc drive motor, no maint. is required for its design life.

I have the same table but different arm (SME V). The Michelle fold out manual (not very user friendly) states that once a year oil changes are sufficient! The bearing set up utilized by Michelle is an excellent design and very robust. This principle is incorporated by large power generators and can last over 100 years in constant use. I use 'ceiling fan' oil made for a 'Hunter Original' ceiling fan, availiable at many hardware stores. A two oz. tube is about $2.00. I concurr with the other maint. as recommended by Amandarae.
