I have used Kano Labs Microil on my instruments. It is an ultra refined oil
for instruments, clocks etc. Have a tach for my bugeye that was squeaking
badly 9 years ago. Put a drop of this stuff on the moving parts and have
not heard anything since. I have a small can I bought back then and still
have 7/8ths of the can left. Price, send me your snail mail address. I
will send you a small amount. Just have to find a suitable container to
mail to you. Or, you can order directly from Kano Labs.
