How much oil to lube main Motor Teac A6300

[paulram]

I see the small tubing to lube the bearing on the main motor. I have a few cc of synthetic motor oil. Would this suffice and how much should I use?

I wouldn't use the motor oil:nono:. Use 1/2 to 1 CC fine machine oil like 3 in 1 oil or some sewing machine oil. Only need to lube them once a year. Apply a drop or two on the capstan shaft after taking off the pinch roller and cleaning it.

Clean the entire tape path thoroughly with 99% isopropyl alcohol and Qtips until the last Qtip comes up clean... might take 5-10. Then don't use those tapes with sticky shed syndrome anymore! Google the phrase to know what tapes to stay away from. Also... if you don't have one... get a good head demagnetizer.
