[Milsurplus] Dynomotor lubrication

[Mike Hanz]

Mobilith SHC100 synthetic electric motor grease.  Its evaporation rate 
is lower than the old style greases.  For testing purposes, a couple of 
drops of Mobil I or Castrol synthetic motor oil is advisable...after 50 
years there aren't any lighter lubricants left in the grease, and that's 
what provides the critical bearing film, not the soap binder that 
remains over time.
