So, its time to do a little cleaning and lubrication to both my Seeburg Firestar and my Rock-Ola 474. Is SAE 20 wt still the way to go, or is there something better? preferably non-warming or scented :D

on a serious note, on my wurlitzer i used this stuff: http://www.zoomspoutoiler.com/

It can be had at most hardware stores( at least around here) its a good multipurpose lube and the long extendable spout and the way the bottle is made allows you to be very precise when your oiling things, which is good if you want oil one thing but dont want oil a 1/2" away

also works good on pinball stepper sharts/bushings, tron spinner bushings, etc.

here it is at happ if you happen to need to order other stuff form them soon

Thanks for the tips. Rich over on the other forum recommended the 20wt as well. Non-detergent. C-man, how long have you used that Zoomspout it on your Wurlitzer? does it attract dirst (dust/dirt) real bad?

worked for over a year then traded the juke.. Have not heard back form the dude so id assume its still good. Lubed the steppers in my space missionyears ago still working perfect. All oil will attract dust/dirt over time. Im pretty sure whatevers in that zoomspout is non detergent.

Worst case buy one and empty it. that bottle itself is handy as hell
