You do not want anything 'electrical conductive' like Neolube or graphite. And if you are looking at a teflon lube, make sure it is 'plastic' compatible. Labelle has a very nice teflon lube that will not harm the plastic parts in your $300 turntable.
no sense in starting a war over this but i have never had a problem like that with neolube. in a recent post Andy Sperandeo confirms that it is not conductive.

I vacuum out my turntable on a regular basis, and keep it covered if doing any scenery work near by....

one word- NEOLUBE !!!
LaBelle No. 106 is a plastic compatible teflon white grease, (commonly used for loco gears). But I would also recommend trying one of the teflon powder lubes from LaBelle or Hobb-e-lube.

I tried the powdered graphie but it seemed to be messy and after using it I recalled that graphite is an electrical conductor so I didn't think it wise to have it spriinkled on the pit rail. It would be just my luck that a few particles of it get inside the center hole and mess things up in a big way. I'll give that Hob-E-Lube a try though thanks
Dry, powdered Teflon such as Hob-E-Lube Dry White Lube with Teflon, or powdered graphite, may be a better choice because neither would attract or hold dirt.
