Vinnie- Glad to hear you dug into that monster and did so sucessfully
there are a few motors like the Thorens TD 124 types that are not particularly easy to re-assemble properly aligned but most TT motors are ridiculously simple many have only 1 moving part (the shaft/armature and the two halves.The 3 in One Oil is some very lame stuff by todays standards
I think you'd be well advised to either shitcan it or relegate it to squeeky door hinges, it's more of an alleged lubricant, only superior to WD 40 which is essentially just a Chlorinated Kerosene derivative.I'd advise you to use a quality synthetic motor oil which isn't going to break down/shear,oxidize and varnish in short order like the 3 in One which isn't going to provide adequate lubrication even ever but is going south fast to leave your motor completely unlubricated in short order, personally I like to use a dab of synthetic or Moly grease on the shaft bushing when the motor is torn down.
Just curious, as a thinking person who is obviously careful why did you think 3 in One would be adequate ?
Kind Regards fred
