Continental lubrication advice needed
From reading the various forums and publications, I know that over-
oiling and/or using the incorrect type of oil & grease can cause a lot of problems - more than no lubrication at all. Probably because of this, and the fact that my 1962 Continental runs smoothly, I have not oiled or greased the machine in the past ten years but feel that now is the time and would like some advice. 1. The instructions for the Continental machine do not say to oil the pin bank. It seems to me that for that sort of mechanism a drop of light watch oil on each pin, followed by manually moving and twisting the pin to distribute the oil would be prudent. What are your thoughts? 2. Most of the mechanism calls for grease rather than oil. In some places Stanobar grease is called out and in others Stanobar #2. Neither are available. What is a suitable substitute? I know that other jukeboxes use Lubriplate. Can I use that as a substitute for the places that Stanobar or Stanobar No 2 is called out? Is plain Silicone or Lithium grease better? I have some gun lubrication that has Teflon in it. Maybe that would be good to use? 3. Can you recommend any rubber conditioning products for the idler wheel and the long rubber band that holds the records in place? Thanks, Paul Oakland NJ. |
