Yep - - just a few drops into each tube should do it. Remember - - no Three-In-One...

Thanks and so I've read. I'm heading out today for sewing machine oil. I have CRC white lithium grease for use on the gears.phonogfp wrote:Yep - - just a few drops into each tube should do it. Remember - - no Three-In-One...

I remember seeing a youtube video on how to oil your phonograph and they said "the best thing to use is good old fashioned Three-In-One oil" yeah nope!phonogfp wrote:Yep - - just a few drops into each tube should do it. Remember - - no Three-In-One...

I use gun oil. Simply because I always have a plentiful supply of it around the home.

I have some Hoppes Bench Rest 9 here, but to be honest, I don't know exactly what is in it. So I bought some Singer oil yesterday. Shocked at how easily it flows over everything!fran604g wrote:I use gun oil. Simply because I always have a plentiful supply of it around the home.
