Hi,

Have just been cleaning up a grime covered Bell&Howell 16mm TQIII [1693] and now I finally have the back off was wondering about greasing / oiling moving parts please?

I have fine machine oil for rollers and so forth but I never could decide on what was the best [UK] grease for projectors? I have two lots of grease to hand, a tube of LM2 lithium (brown) grease and a tub of white inorganic grease, but I don't know if either are suitable.

Advice please?

Many thanks,

Ric
