Right on Doug!

you  have  managed to solve the riddle of the  'match'  to the classic  old
oil it   seems!

seems like a good  project for Don's  group to buy the 5 gallon  pail ?

 

A nice  Teletype repairman   that  fixed us up  with  zillions of keyboard
and printer springs and tools and the magic gold oil can  told me about
adding STP  to  the stock oil.

 

Would  anyone   comment on the 'science' behind  why and  if there  is any
detriment to the STP? 
<aside  from wanting to stick racing decals on  your  28>

 

The oil question was  appearing so much I always thought it might be good to
add the solve to the signmature block for the  list

Climbing around on the web, I have found the specs for KS7470 oil,
and I have found the specs for a number of other oils with which
to compare it.

The results of my exploration are here
-- http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/pdp8/UI-8/ks7470oil.shtml

In conclusion, Starrett 1620 Tool and Instrument oil is almost
certainly the exact same thing.  $6.94 per 4oz. bottle

Several other highly refined white mineral oils are every close
matches.  Lubriplate FMO-AW 200, for example, is available for
about $139 for 5 gallons or $1,466.38 for a 55 gallon drum.
bulk discounts are nice, but I don't need that much.
