[R-390] RF deck questions

> What type of grease, if any,  should I use?

You shouldn't need any.  Just wet the gear teeth with the oil, after
cleaning.  Maybe a dab of grease on the detent spring, if even that.

 The gears need a good cleaning, what do I use to clean
> them? I may hold off on that job until the green gear shows up.

Denatured alcohol, carb cleaner (like Gumout), or chorethene, but I doubt if
you'll find it.  I assume  you don't plan to tear down, soak-clean and
reassemble the gear train.  I use flux brushes -- the ones plumbers use --
available at most hardware stores for 10-15 cents apiece.  On some, I cut
the bristles down so they'll be a bit stiffer and good for cleaning the gear
teeth in place.  Be sure not to spatter any solvent where it shouldn't go.
