Hi Tim, thanks for the reply, a 100+ views with no comments was a record - even for one of my posts!

Yes happily the motor uses common or garden 20mm x 8mm shielded ball bearings, so no surprise oiling wouldn't have helped. I will do a full write up when the new ones arrive. I dont know if the tubes were phased out later or not, I seem to recall they were fitted on a TEAC/Tascam mastering machine I once owned but cant recall exactly what model it was*?

edit* it was a TEAC A-6100

Cheers
