Odd to call something 3 in 1 if it only does one job. ;-)

At one time the best easy source of a light high quality oil was sewing
machine oil. But they likely are made of plastic these days...


What I always used for my model railway engines :-)


It seems strange that none of the shops or makers of turntables seem to
sell or provide any oil. Maybe they want to give the impression that their
turntables will *never* need it. But I'd have thought it was both useful as
an 'advert' if suitable for other makes as well, and a chance to sell the
user an accessory.

My mumble year old Technics DD turntable came with a tube of oil... which
sadly got lost some time ago. I have wondered what oil to use, but never
got round tuit. Now that they make turntables again, maybe I should ask
them again.

Hasn't old Russ cottoned to this as yet after Oil he must have something
refined by vestal virgins in some remote mythical country or place at
some Two grand odd a tube:?....


The tube being made of Unobtainium of course
