Sony PS-x75: How to train your lifter.

[dmkbox]

HI!
I bought this turntable in fine shape, but automatic doesn't work. Couple of repair procedures and all fine. But some troubles still exist.
I flush lifter and white lifter gear backside of tonearm with contact cleaner, they stuck hard. Then I inject silicon oil and train both manually. After some time of training full auto features work perfect. But when I leave TT for 2 days without powering, both gear and lifter stuck again.
How to clean and lube this parts without disassembling whole tonearm? I think disassembling broke this thin cables from cartridge, motors etc...
Any opinions?

What strange?
Stuck parts unstuck with some fluid in. When fluid gone, old lubrication stuck lifter again.

Hi!
I answer to my question myself.
First You must to own WD-40 (from autoparts shop).
Second - unscrew the base platter (4 screw).
Then spray WD40 under the base to lifter axis, after that do the same from top of turntable. After this procedures pull the lifter up and down 30-40 times.
Arm lifter must have near free movement.
After 24 hours repeat all steps.

If your automatic don't work - I have solution. Put your hand on white gear under tonearm and try to rotate. This gear MUST rotate freely. If not, do the same. WD 40 to gear axis and manual rotate 10-20 times.
3 sensor around this white gear Must be cleaned with contact cleaner. Disassembling highly recommended!
