[Heathkit] WTB: Heathkit HN-31 cantenna.

[sbjohnston at aol.com]

Back when I filled a new Cantenna in the early 1990s, I looked in the 
yellow pages under "oils, lubricating"  or some category along those 
lines, and identified a dealer.  I went to their counter and said I 
needed a gallon of light mineral oil.  They in turn asked "what for?" 
so I said it was for electronic cooling, like in a transformer.  They 
knew exactly what I meant, and went in the back and filled a plastic 
jug with the oil.  If I recall correctly they gave it to me free rather 
than write up the order for just one gallon.  It might also be known as 
"dielectric oil".

I believe you can also buy quarts of light mineral oil at some 
pharmacies.
