Lube Pioneer pl518 tonearm

[Chuck awker]

Having a hard time finding where to lube my tonearm lifter.I have to carefully lower tonearm as it seems the grease is old and wore out.Tried the"tube" but absolutely no vids.

You have to remove cueing mechanism.
Clean old silicon oil completely.
Use new 300.000 or 500.000 cst silicon oil.
Do not use lots of oil, you have to use it on inner spring, when you fit the cueing lever back in, it will seal the oiled mecha.

I bought dampening fluid in a syrynge,but how do you remove the mechanism.

 

[Starbender]

remove the platter.
remove needle.
remove tonearm assembly.
When you look at the bottom of the tonearm assembly, you'll figure it out how to remove..

Also check service manual page 10.
