[NJARC] FYI - Lubriplate Health Concerns

[John Ruccolo]

Hi Tom,

Gee, I walways thought lithium was an anti-depressant.
I put a little Lubriplate behind each ear, and I feel
much better. ;-)

Seriusly, though, it's a good policy to apply any
lubricant with a toothpick, or some kind of
applicator. (Those long Q-tips for tape deck
maintenance were very handy for this). That's how I
always used it. Seeburg (the jukebox people) used to
sell tubes of Lubriplate custom-labeled with Seeburg's
name on them.

BTW, Tom, I completely forgot that I owe you an email
reply regarding your Zenith output xformer (the radio
you had at the clinic). Sorry about that -- how's that
radio doing? Let me go back and look at your email and
see if I can answer your question. (Or I'll send it
out to the group).

Regards,

John
