restoring a technics linear tracking turntable

Hi I was hoping someone can help me.I have a technics linear
tracking turntable and the grease has become dry and sticky on
the tracking mechanism. What would you recommend to relube this turntable? I was thinking about a light clear silicon grease but I have no clue where to find it. I appreciate your
help. Thanks!

it would need to be VERY slippery. Any grease heavyness will ruin the arm function.
i would try a sewing machine oil, or a transmission fluid.

I might try a silicon spray first instead of putting more grease on top of the dried stuff. If you can remove all the old grease it might not be necessary. I use to sell these but never had to do any arm maintanance.

I have a digital SL-10 service manual. If it would be of use email me.

Good luck.
