Title: Hello, what type of oil or grease to use on reels. 1965 space Post by: Fortytwo on December 02, 2013, 08:41:55 PM Hello,
I am new here so. Hi I recently got a 1965 space three reel slot. I like the fact that its electromechanical. I have a lot of experience in pinballs. First slot. I almost have the mech rebuilt but am unsure as to what to lube the reels with. I have heard grease but won't that slow them down too much. I was thinking 40 wt zoom oil. So far I have been using Teflon grease or 3 in 1 pending application. I have searched the net and a general what oil where thread would have been really useful. Especially the fact that the is no info on my slot no even a too picture of the inside. This repair is fun and I see myself finding a basket case purely mechanical one before too long. Thanks for the help. I hope to be spinning tonight.

Oh, and welcome! Title: Re: Hello, what type of oil or grease to use on reels. 1965 space Post by: Fortytwo on December 03, 2013, 11:18:41 AM Thanks. I ended up cheating and worked some light weight oil between the reels. It's working correctly now.
