I likely missed it, but what grease SHOULD we use for dynamotor  
bearings?
I have here a nice BC-348 with original dynamotor which I relubed some  
time ago.  Very little time on it since.  But it's in the barn where  
the temperature is above 0F whenever I run the thing.

Though my security advisors strongly urge me to never mention it,  
there has been a rumor of a SLIGHT possibility that there is here an  
800-1 motor generator for the GO-9.  (And thanks to Mike for posting  
info on these odd screamers.)  However, I can say that there are a   
number of teletype motors (which normally run at some 1800 rpm).
