Is there anyone who might be familar w/ this turntable? Problem w/
sticking linear tracking tonearm. I cleaned the dust & dirt off the rail
but may need to lube it. What do I use? Also, a source needed for the
little tonearm drive belt. Sony, of course, has discontinued it!

The 520 repair manual doesn't seem to mention lubrication

Lithium grease (white) for lube. A friend of mine has a source for
replacement belts. I will track it down and post it.

Do you have a good source for P-mount cartridges?

if this is similar to other linear decks I've worked on, you will
indeed need to replace the small belt (s) responsible for moving the
arm itself. My local parts dealer gets this kind of thing from Molgar
or könig. CPC and charles hyde in the Uk may also be sources.

Sorry to not return as I was sick. But, yes, if you can find the belt,
I'd much appreciate it! As for cartridges, this unit came w/ the
original Sony VL-45G & I bought some new styli from eBay.
