You can get mineral oil by the gallon at just about any farm and ranch store.
A gallon there is usually cheaper than a pint at a drug store. Also, you might
try going by your local electric company's service center and asking about
transformer oil (much better than even mineral oil). Usually they will just
give you a gallon because it costs more to do the paperwork to sell you such a
small amount. The electric company uses hundreds of gallons of non-PCB
transformer oil in their distribution transformers.

I am resurrecting an old Heath Cantenna and having a hard time finding mineral
oil in large quantities. I have heard that is okay to use non detergent motor
oil. Is there any truth to that?
