Applied Fidelity Bearing Identification and advice.

Posted by wayne lab on January 10, 2017 at 04:16:10:

Good afternoon everyone, I'm a new member here and have joined hoping to get some advice as to what model of applied fidelity bearing I have on my technics 1210 and how to go about lubricating it and with what type of oil etc.
The bearing appears to me to have a black top to the bearing which is different to the stock bearing , it also does seem to have oil lubrication which I'm not 100% sure about, the previous owner of the turntable did turn the deck upside down to remove and replace the tone arm and I'm wondering did all of these bearings possibly drain oil if the deck is spun over ?, and what oil would be sort to replenish the well please?.
I realize that the owner of this company has passed recently so I'm finding it difficult to get any advice and there isn't a lot online .
The spindle is significantly longer thank the stock bearing spindle, I would take the table apart to take further pictures but I am wary of breaking anything.

Any advice very much appreciated.
