Old Rega P3 : maintenance

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Hello. I bought a used, older model P3. It was kept in good condition but I'm not sure if the main bearing needs any maintenance or relubrication. Rega's download (took some searching) states "Don't lift the centre hub out from the main bearing. The bearing is factory assembled with a film of special thick lubricant. If the centre hub is removed this film may be disturbed" which I interpret as "factory lifetime lubricated". Any comments or suggestions from the vinyl community?
