[Jukebox-list] 1964 Rockola 424 record speed

[Ron Rich]

Tad,
The grommets should be an "off white" color, and must still be "spongy", and the "domed" side should be installed "up". INMHO, NOTHING except SAE 20 wt. ND motor oil, should be used ("3 in One" makes it in small cans, other brands are available at GOOD auto parts stores in qt. sized jugs). Those motor bearings do wear out, if they run dry for a long time. Ron Rich

Thanks for the advice, I'll check the grommets, what type of oil should I
use (sewing machine oil)? I was told to use liquid graphite.
