Yamaho P300 Turntable

Jun 14, 2008 5 Replies

The above turntable drops the stylus too quickly onto a record. It appears the damping mechanism is not working properly. I suspect oil or light grease is used as the damping agent but would like other's opinions.



Thanks

**The oil is an extremely viscous silicon type. Often called 'kilopoise'. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE! The oil is available from several sources.

I guess using WD-40 is out of the question then? :)
