[Heathkit] FS: Heath Cantenna - Caution About The Oil

[Jürgen Florenkowski]

I'm using for my Heathkit Cantenna an oil from Shell : Diala .
In Europe you can get it in 20 liter canisters . I got my oil from a
university that is experimenting with high voltage .

     I've written to Chevron asking if they think this is a suitable oil 
to replace transformer oil and also if its available in small 
quantity.   It is described as a very good general purpose oil for small 
electric motor bearings which suggests it might be valuable stuff around 
the shack or shop.   BTW, R&O means Rust and Oxidation inhibited and 46 
is the viscosity.  Turbine oil is available in about a dozen viscosity 
grades.
