RE: Stuck Platter on my Denon - ffrr had the answer!

I am packing the DP-75 up to sell. I had to put in the transit screw that holds the transformer from flopping around on its rubber suspension when shipping and also to pack the platter in a separate inner box, wrapped like heck. (It's imperative not to damage the magnetic strip inside the rim!)

I used WD-40 because it tends to clean up well when wiped off thoroughly and I didn't want any stronger solvents around the Denon guts.

I wiped the inside of the platter tapered hole with a tiny dab of silicone grease on a q-tip to get out the corrosion gunk and leave a little protection.

If your platter spins totally freely I would not oil it. It hard to tell where the oil could end up. I had oiled a past DP-2000 with one tiny drop of Tri-Flow without harm though. I haven't seen TriFlow hurt anything in 30 or so years its been around.

What base is your 3000 in- a Denon wood one? I had one 3000, it's a beast!
