Probably not - but I'd be tempted to put some graphite in there . . .

Or maybe some silicone fluid to act as damper? That'd collect dirt though.

And it would seep all over the place and make a mess.

I'd leave it dry.

Only thing I started to think was why V-blocks were developed. Probably for isolating vibrations from the chassis or from the arm. Since the V-block have been made of various materials and claim to improve the sound "dramatically" I wonder if I could run along with this and fasten(with adhesive) some V shape shims to the place. I could easily make ones of copper, brass, silver, maybe even teflon. It would rise the arm up about 1mm, but it is adjustable.

There was another thread for this... I doubt that the Lenco engineers chose soft V blocks because they gave the worst results. The benefit in using harder materials is that they don't wear out. You can try, of course, but I doubt that you'll get any real results out of it   undecided

...
In the 'Naming the parts' section of this forum, you will find a thread called L75 Tonearm with three pictures in it. I suggest having this open in a separate tab for reference, as I will be referring to it here (item numbers in brackets).



Hello Simon,

The page that you are referring doesn't have the image anymore (problem with photobucket??). I am new to this TT thing, and since L75 is probably older than me, I'm afraid that I will break anything if I don't get the correct parts worked on.... Could you kindly post the part images with the reference?
Thank you for this great tutorial!

Just got my GL75. Thanks for making this easy for me. My v-blocks were turning into dust!

Many thanks Dale.
