But, without direct experience or explicit recommendation from the vendor, I will stand by my previous post. In conclusion, if you have direct experience and can vouch for the effectiveness of the silicone on the rega lift, I truly thank you for the information. I have not found this type of tacky grease to be easily or economically available. Rocol kilopoise is a damping grease, also called tacky grease, which is more than just lubrication. If that doesn't work, I think replacing the lift is the best option. My advice is to go ahead and clean it to the extent of removing any pieces of foreign material visible, but don't remove the damping compound. I tried a really thick silicone grease on my lift and it did not prevent it from dropping too fast. Even if it did work, the bottom of the rega lift is open, and the silicone will drip out. ![]() I am not a materials expert, but my understanding is that silicone is a lubricant, no matter how viscous its form. There is no mention of suitability for the rega.Īxel, you are right that the 300,000 cst will not drip. More importantly, the rega lift does not use silicone. ![]() Axel, I checked the link you provided and it only mentions the silicone for use for replacement in lifts originally using silicone: "If the cartridge drops too quickly when you lower the cueing lever, then the original silicone fluid has leaked out." So, the link doesn't address dropping too slow.
