[Phono-L] AB's and gear oiling

[Mike Stitt]

The recent thread about the AB MacDonald brings up a good question. Among
the many things I collect includes clocks. Now in the world of clocks you
never oil gears, no  and no. Should you oil gears in phonographs? Would the
higher rate of speed of the governor be a rationale? Would the presumed
higher loads from a larger spring dictate oiling? I do and have oiled
phonograph gears. Should we? And break the clock rule?
