I have a Type A too. It is the smoothest, quietest idler that I have ever seen. My auto functions are gummed up. What is the best stuff to clean it with. I was going to lube with sewing machine oil. I that what is recommended?
That is a strange looking headshell. It looks like the Bakelite headshell on my fathers RC80 (which I still have). Type A headshells are all over eBay and relatively cheap, if you are interested. Maybe the Bakelite sounds better?

only "... fine grade of machine oil; that used for sewing machines is suitable."
Pretty certain the manual is available for download from Vinyl Engine. I would suggest you get it because there are only a few points that are oiled, motor bearing [top], spindle bearing, and idler wheel bearing. It adds that the bottom motor bearing only occasionally is oiled.
All the other joints/elbows/etc. are not oiled.
On mine the main gear beneath the spindle seems dirty. I will clean with alcohol and possibly Deoxit.
Thanks! Will do! I think this one was well maintained. It spins very smoothly.

I just purchased machine oil at a local sewing/fabric shop. I have the manual for the Garrard and will look to see if they specify oil to be used and report back.
