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.
