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.

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! :roll: :lol:

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

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!
