[Boatanchors] Rotary Inductor Lubrication...need recommendations

[Ed Swynar]

Hi Tony,

I have two rotary inductors here: one is in my transmatch, the other is in
my KW amplifier, both rigs homebrewed.

I find that a light application of plain old ordinary CASTOR OIL does the
trick, every coupla years, or so...just a few drops in the right places do
the trick for me.
