Re: SR-160 Vernier Dial Lubricaion
开云体育
Hi Matt,
First thing is to clean all the old lub off. This should be done with small artist brushes or the steel tube acid brushes dipped into cleaning solution. Don't use a spray cleaner. I use alcohol. Careful, not to get any on the dial face. The gears need very
little lub. I use a toothpick and place a very small dot of white lub on each gear. Then rotate from stop to stop a few times to distribute the grease. A little is great, a little more is bad. If the dial is dirty, carefully clean a small area with just water
and rag. If the dial will not clean up, overlays are available.

Hi All,
?
I am restoring an SR-160 that has been dormant for some time.? The vernier dial does rotate through it's full rotation but does so sluggishly, getting stuck periodically.? Does anyone have any suggestions regarding lubrication of the vernier dial mechanism
(type of lubricant, places to lubricate, etc)?
