You could try calling Kevin at KAB in NJ. I have Kevin's add-on damping system for my Technics 1200 tonearm. I think the fluid he uses is silicon oil, which may be the same thing Paul is talking about. If it's silicon oil, and you happen to lease a copying machine, you may be able to get a bottle at no cost from the copier service guy. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stamler" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 2:09 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] SME tonearm question > On 3/21/2014 10:06 AM, Kurt Nauck wrote: >> Does anyone have a good substitute for SME Dampening Oil?
