Hmm... I have an older turntable (circa 1995ish) and I'd lubricated it about
a year after I got it with HO train gear-lubricant, and havn't had any
problems at all. I first tried graphite - that was a DISASTER. So messy. The
gear oil worked much nicer. I fed a steady bead around the base fo the ring
gear, it's about 1 mm thick on the inside... along the face where it mates
with the base.
It's remained super-smooth ever since!
