[Hammarlund] SP-600 info

[Al Parker]

hi J,
    Yes, use "pure" alcohol, or acetone on the brass "wheels", in the slots 
where they contact each other.  Rub them so they're good an clean.  Don't 
ever use any lubricant on them, or even the shafts they are on, brass 
doesn't need lube to run on steel.
