Revox special capstan lubricant for all later Studer and Revox A77, B77, PR99, A700 , B67, A810, A80, C270 and other reel to reel tape recorders.  

LUBE KIT - PDP65  5 ml

This kit is for  later capstan motors that use two bronze bushes. 

This kit contains:

  •  5ml special Isoflex PDP65 synthetic lubricant in 6ml bottle
  • Syringe with special blunt needle for drop by drop application
  

PLPLEASE NOTE:  We only use genuine Isoflex PDP65 lubricant made by Kleuber in Germany as specified by Revox, Studer and Nagra tape machines. It is very expensive oil but a little goes a long way.

Capstan motors need lubricating every ~500 hours or 6 - 12 months and full clean of felts and bearing surfaces ~3000 hours or 1 - 3 years. 
Do this and the motors will last a long long time. Most motors I have come across have never been serviced and the lubricating felts are dry. Luckily these old capstan motors are really robust and can be brought back to good serviceable condition. They are relatively easy to dismantle and once upgraded / serviced will run smoother with less noise. With a good clean, new bearings and a lubrication its surprising how well an old motor can run. Dont take a chance on dubious bearing sources or lubricants.  Get the full Nagravox kit for all your motors.

CAUTION.  Dont be fooled by the hype over lubricants.  Revox specified two types of lubricants for capstan motors. We have both of them as originally specified. Not copies or cheap alternatives. 


VERY IMPORTANT TIP ABOUT LUBRICANTS

  •  USE THE CORRECT LUBRICANT
  •  DO NOT MIX LUBRICANTS

    For later capstan motors the correct lubricant is Isoflex PDP65 and no other lubricant should be used or mixed with it. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER OIL!

    NAGRAVOX PARTS – Important Information. 

    In respect of this listing only. We don’t really want to sell parts only on ebay! Our parts are listed on ebay for the benefit of customers who, at the same time purchase a kit from us. So, unfortunately due to the onerous time consuming administration foisted onto us by ebay and the freight / postal system, we have had to instigate a ‘hidden’ in built handling charge of $30 on the low value part listed here. This is incorporated into the shipping charge (ebay system) and why it may seem exorbitantly expensive. This ‘handling charge’ can be REFUNDED in full ($30) as a discount by requesting a combined invoice for any multiple purchase of a kit plus parts. A ‘hidden’ handling charge does not apply to kits or tape media / accessories and some more expensive parts which are nett. To be clear – there is a refund of any ‘hidden’ handling charge of $30 which is passed as a discount when you request an invoice for multiple items as long as one of these is a kit.  You MUST request a ‘combined shipping’ or ‘send an invoice for combined shipping’ to enable this. Please check on your requested final invoice that I have applied the $30 discount. This message nor ‘hidden’ fee does is absent and is not applicable on those items in our store where the above message does not appear. It is also not applicable to direct dealing past customers. Our raison d’etre is to help enthusiasts fully restore their classic audio equipment to as near original performance using our carefully considered and designed kits. We don’t really wish to cater for occasional spare part sales which, to be blunt is a hassle and time consuming and which, in most cases, is unlikely to solve likely hidden or soon to surface problems on your Revox, Studer or Nagra equipment. Please give consideration and look at our kits in other listings in our store.  Thanks for your consideration and hopefully understanding and I hope we can help in restoring your machine.
