[GreenKeys] Western Electric KS-7470 and KS-7471

[Don Robert House K9TTY]

Hi Les,

I am wondering about "shelf life" … I have two tubes of KS 7471 Grease, and possibly two cans of KS 7470 Oil.
Both date back to late 60s and early 70s.  I might be able to make up some tins of the grease in cleaned out shoe polish tins.
Perhaps I could put the oil into bottles to share.  BUT, will the lubricants still be good?

Just thinkin'
