[rec.audio.high-end] Grace 704 tonearm question

rcojs@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (James Scott) (06/29/90)

Since someone else (I can't remember who) raised the topic of Grace tonearms,
I thought I'd ask a question that's been bugging me for a while.

I have a Grace 704 arm, which is about 8 years old (still like new :-). The
question is, how long does the damping fluid around the uni-pivot last? The
fluid in mine now appears to be more like jelly. Is this normal, and if not,
how do you get the stuff out?

Any help/insights/pity would be greatly appreciated.
