Hello to everybody here!
I have an Eumig Mark S 807D and i was wondering if it will be ok to use Silocon Spray instead of Alvania RL2 to grease the plastic gears.

Thank you in advance!

Hello Yannis and welcome to the Forum. Have fun here. [Big Grin]

Whilst silicone based lubricants are fine for plastic and nylon gears, a spray lubricant will be too thin for gears. A silicone grease would be more appropriate, otherwise you will have to lubricate more often; and it could find its way into areas which should be kept dry.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Valves and celluloid - a great combination!
Early technology rules OK!
