Some of the Collins guys swear by the stuff. When I cleaned my RV7 recently, I had a tube of (no longer available) Radio Shack Teflon grease that I used for the shaft/brass parts. It came out very smooth. Misplaced the stuff after the RV7 project and have been going nuts trying to find it. I found a potentially similar Teflon grease product at a bicycle shop recently, but haven't had a chance to experiment much with it yet. Don't use any type of lubricant on the nylon parts, you'll be sorry. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C TR7/RV7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C, L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A, HyGain 3750, IBM PS/2 - all vintage, all the time!
