[Drake] R4B "feedthrough" follow-up

Couple of weeks ago I mentioned RF feedthrough to the R4B from the T4XB 
on CW.   The list asked me for a follow-up if I found the problem. 

I did not.  It has not reoccurred, no matter what I have tried, in my 
attempts to make it reoccur.  I would therefore guess it was a bad 
switch contact that in moving it, it has corrected itself. 

The Drake Gremlin?? 

Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions you guys offered.  I am one who 
figures I can't fix what ain't broke, so I'm leaving it alone. 

By the way, what is a typical "local" (where you are, such as auto parts 
stores, hardware stores, etc??) for lithium grease.  I need to grease 
the VFO in the R4B.  Getting a little chatter at certain points during 
rotation. 

Thanks

Ed, W5HTW
