In Reply to: Russco Studio Pro B Idler - moly lithium grease question, pix of 2 favorite LPs atop 'table, & brief update posted by jazzthusiast on April 13, 2007 at 12:48:27:
If your base is a simple box platform, go buy some playground (washed) sand and put some into quart size zip lock bags. Leave room in the bag to allow it to be very pliable. Now simply fill in the base with sand and conform the bags around the motor and other assemblies. Simply add more and more sand until you find the point with the tightest most tuneful bass performance.Measure the weight of the box and the sand and now you know how heavy the CLD plinth needs to be.
Make sure you like the midrange and highs as much as the bass. You might find a compromise to a lighter plinth makes an overall better balanced sound from the table.
I suspect any decent quality modern moly grease will be superior to the older greases produced years ago. I would use a synthetic moly grease like an race engine moly grease and synthetic motor oil.
When you build a race engine, on ititial start up you can do a great deal of damage. They make a synthetic moly grease to coat every moving part so when the engine first cranks the moly does the protection chores until the oil can fully circulate.
This stuff would be great for your purposes. The grease is light, holds extremely well to clean surfaces, and has superior protection capability.
Cheers!

- Don't worry if the moly grease is not synthetic. It probably is not a synthetic now that I think about this... - tubesforever 11:17:19 04/14/07 (0)
