[Premium-Rx] Lubricants for electronics

[Peter Torry]

 From the responses that I have read it would appear that the type of 
lubricant is not too critical and any good specification lubricant would 
suffice.  Once the congealed lubricants are removed along with any 
corrosion products the common sense application of small amounts of 
lubricant would suffice.  In my experience of slowly rotating parts 
where the lubricant must not spread and must also inhibit future 
corrosion the range of oils from Mobious have proved very effective and 
I use their 8040 or if you must use synthetic D5 although its rather costly.
