[Heath] Grease

[G3OOU at aol.com]

Hi Steve
 
You are quite right. 3 in 1 oil creeps all over the place in time. My  
preference is to use a fine grease on the LMOs but I do not use a conductive  
type.

I have been reading (and I  hope learning) about the rebuilding of the 
LMO's. I have a number of old  sewing machines and the old dried up grease is a 
problem with them to. The  OSMR (old sewing machine repairman) who is the 
moderator of the group swears  by TriFlow! They make an oil and also a grease. 
The clam to fame of this  product is that it contains microscopic pieces of 
Teflon with the grease and  oil. Some of the sewing machines are 100+ years 
old and the lub is quite hard!  After cleaning them up, he puts TriFlow in 
them and they are good to go for  another 100 years.


I thought I would pass this  along. The OSMR also said that the most 
precisioned piece of equipment he  would use 3 in 1  oil on is a garage door 
hinge! He said that is the  worse lub to use for longevity.
