Micro Seiki DD-40 Turntable Tone arm lifter repair
I had had a very fast lowering (dare I say drop?) of my tonearm when I purchased this years ago. Finally got around to disassembling it, purchasing some 300 000 silicone tonearm lubricant, and putting it all back together. I forgot to take a video of the piston with the lube on it, but after reading of a few others with issues of a ‘farting sound’ due to too much silicone I was careful not to use too much. Just filled the grooves, and lightly greased the rest. The silicone oil here is the AK 300000 by Wacker® as recommended in the service manuals for Dual turtables. All is well now!

    Thx for the video. I'm waiting for the postman to bring some synthetic oil. Did you dip the arm lift in the oil to fill those grooves?

      No problem. I actually just dropped it on if I recall with the syringe that the oil came in. Surprised how little it took to make such a difference.

    In the UK these must be as rare as hen's teeth! I had one in 68/69. It was rough and ended up being scrapped. The self starter was a hoot. I loved it. This one of yours is amazing.

      I had one when I was 16 - about 1963, Mum wouldn't let ne have a proper motorbike, she thought scooters were safer.

      Actually nsumotzke has almost all parts still. A bit expensive but when you’re stuck they always come through. I started with local ads, then ebay ( especially ebay.de) then motzke as a last resort. You’d be surprised at how many of these are around still. The Cadillac of scooters folks tended to not scrap them.

    Thanks Peter. Unfortunately I sold it a few months ago. It is now in Redondo Beach California being taken care of by a wonderful gentleman who is a bit of a collector.
