Review (5/5): War on Friction
This product is sold on several different pages on Amazon.com. Whether it’s listed as being for wall clocks, folding knives or typewriters, it’s all the same stuff.
And it’s pretty good stuff. I recently rebuilt an antique record player. I wanted to update it with a modern cartridge that uses as lot less pressure and that meant that I needed the tonearm to have a lot less friction.
I initially did the rebuild with standard 3-in-1 oil. It was partially successful. Warped or off center records wouldn’t play. I decided to tear down and try again with Liquid Bearings and it worked. I can play any record now.
I like the precision needle tip. It’s a lot easier to use than the usual spout on 3-in-1 oil cans.
I bought a small bottle and only used a small fraction of it. I tossed my can of 3-in-1 and kept the Liquid Bearings. It worked for me! 5 Stars.
