As the summer hollydays have started I decided to bing my Decca 22 portable back to life. Im at a point when I succeafully cleaned out the old grease from the spring and now its time to apply a new one.
As I search for the opinion on the right lubricant on the interwebs I found a lot of different opinions. Is there a type of grease that shouldn’t be used on a gramophone spring and are there certain types od motors that would benwfit of a specific grease?

I use standard lithium grease, alone or mixed with graphite powder. Also Molykote in other motors. Those work fine for me...
