I don't know, Tom! I don't know exactly what's in those things. What kind of bearings are there, and where in the gizmo are they? If you can confidently get oil into the bearings and you are confident it will rejuvenate the cold war era grease it finds there, then yes, this sounds like a good idea. But that's a couple too many 'if's for my taste. Dripping oil in the general direction of a potential problem... well, I really don't know what effect it might have, whether to hasten or postpone the problem.[/QUOTE]
