Tonearm Dumping Fluid For Sanyo Plus Q50 and Q25... Help!!!!

[Stinkfist86]

Good Morning,



I have a SANYO PLUS Q25 and a SANYO PLUS Q50 in maintenance.



The technician doing the maintenance right now doesn't have Tonearm Damping Fluid and I took care of that.



My problem is that I do not know the proper viscosity for this type of arms (light arms), I checked in a forum a gentleman who had the same problem and solved with Damping Fluid 300.00cst .....



My doubt is in the correct viscosity.



Can anyone help?



I apologize for the automatic translation


best regards

If you mean cueing damping fluid, try 300,000cst.

Viscosity in this case is measured in centiStokes (cSt) and 300K is very common with light to mid-mass tonearms (it's 300,000 so don't mistake it for 300). It's about 30% more viscous than peanut butter. There's nothing 'turntable' in silicon oil except the price. Hobbyists use it in RC car differentials too and there's abundance of it. 100ml (3.3oz) is a life time supply for a TT owner. Check out, for example, the supply on the auction site searching for '300000 cSt silicon oil' and you'll see.

Yes, I bought my lifetime supply bottle from a hobby store for about $10. (primarily sold to RC enthusiasts). Can't remember the cSt number, but it was in the 100 thousands. Worked like a charm on my Thorens TD160 lift.
