Grease for tone-arm slip-joints and fittings?

[Phototone]

Is there a resource that lists the appropriate types of lubricants and greases for tone arm slip-joints and bearings? I know one needs appropriate lubricants to keep an air-tight seal. Although to my eye, it appears that "some" tone-arm designs have such loose joints it is hard to see how they could be made air-tight.

The thickest automobile wheel bearing grease I can find ....

Plumber's grease is good for this. It's used to assemble faucets and the like. No silicone, and won't disturb plated metal.

Were all the joints greased when new? Or is this a modern idea to improve the sound?

Modern idea, I suppose.

So much for "air tight seal". They did not seem to worry about this much in the era of the horn machines...
