• A small, round, white plastic container filled with thick, clear, semi-transparent grease. The container is viewed from a slightly elevated angle. Its white plastic lid is propped open and resting at an angle on the left rim of the jar, revealing a tab on its edge. The background is isolated on pure white, and the lighting casts subtle shadows underneath the container and lid.

Technics Tonearm Helicoid Grease by Perform Research | VTA Restoration (10g)

Restore the original, butter-smooth precision of your turntable with Technics Tonearm Helicoid Grease by Perform Research. Specifically formulated for high-fidelity audio equipment, this premium high-viscosity grease is the definitive solution for renewing the mechanical threads on your Technics tonearm’s vertical tracking angle (VTA) and arm height adjustment mechanisms.

Over time, factory grease degrades, leading to a stiff, gritty, or loose adjustment ring. This specialised damping grease reinstates that classic, weighted, factory-fresh resistance required for micro-precise tonearm levelling.

Key Features

  • Premium High-Viscosity Formula: Engineered specifically to provide the correct damping and smooth resistance required for precision tonearm height adjustments.
  • Factory Feel Restoration: Eliminates play, stiffness, and grittiness, bringing back the exact tactile response of a brand-new Technics turntable.
  • Easy Application: Formulated for effortless coverage. Simply clean out the degraded factory grease and apply a thin, even coat.
  • Convenient 10g Tube: Provides more than enough high-grade lubricant for multiple servicing sessions or turntable restorations.
  • Benefits
  • Protect Your Investment: Minimises friction and mechanical wear on delicate brass and aluminium helicoid threads.
  • Enhanced Turntable Lifespan: Regular maintenance with the correct lubricant prevents thread binding and permanent hardware damage.
  • Perfect VTA Alignment: Smooth mechanics allow you to dial in your vertical tracking angle effortlessly for optimal stylus tracking and sound quality.

How to Apply

  1. Clean: Thoroughly remove old, dried-out factory grease from the helicoid threads using a soft toothbrush, rubbing alcohol, and a lint-free cloth.
  2. Apply: Dispense a small amount of the Perform Research Helicoid Grease and spread a thin, uniform coat across the threads.
  3. Set: Reassemble the arm height mechanism and rotate it through its full range a few times to distribute the grease evenly.

Compatibility Note: Ideal for legendary DJ and audiophile decks including the Technics SL-1200 / SL-1210 series (MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5, MK6, M3D, LTD) and any compatible Technics tonearm assemblies utilising a threaded VTA helicoid ring.
