Just click onto turntablebasics for their silicone fluid, quite cheap. You fill the cup by ear: too much fluid will kill the sound, not enough and you lose control. Easy as pie. I've also used very thick hydraulic oil with success, though your living room will smell like a garage. Olive oil does not have enough damping to it, only good if your 'table has utterly no dynamics.
Damping fluid/grease for Mayware Unipivot?
Does anyone know something about the damping fluid used in the Mayware unipivots? Ideally I would like to know the viscosity if anyone has a full specification for one of the arms.
I have had a google and found a recommendation to use olive oil (usually a fairly thin viscous liquid) but the users manual refers to a grease (usually a much more viscous gunge). Hmmm. Can anyone who has actually seen the damping fluid supplied with one of the arms describe its thickness/viscousity relative to olive oil or grease.
Many thanks.
