dangerrabbit Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hi everyone, I own a ClearAudio Emotion Turntable, with a Satisfy tonearm. Currently, the tonearm cueing mechanism drops faster than it should and I'm looking into fixing this. Based on what I've read online, I need to add dampening oil to the cueing mechanism via a syringe. I'm thinking of using 300cSt silicone oil. Do I just remove the screw shown below and add the dampening oil via the syringe? Any help and words of advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregWormald Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I've only re-lubed a Linn cue piston and to get the correct result that required a disassembly of the cue device and a clean of the old lube before adding a smear of the new. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow - from what I was reading online I thought I had to go with a 300 - 500 cSt oil, but the one you use is 300,000 cSt? EDIT: Looks like I might have misread, it was 300-500k, so thats what I might need, thanks for pointing it out I'm worried about potentially causing more issues by trying to fix it, given that Greg had to disassemble the entire cueing mechanism and clean out the old oil prior to re-lubricating it. The Satisfy tonearm unfortunately doesn't seem as easily serviceable as something like a Technics tonearm. Hmm, maybe it's worth leaving for a full service down the line.
