[Amps] Roller inductor grease?

[Ed Swynar]

Hi Kevin,

I apply a drop, or two, of regular CASTOR OIL on the moving parts of all my
roller inductors and air variable capacitors here...

Once every couple of years seems to do the trick, or whenever I might have
occasion to have the tops off my linear or transmatch, & it's handy at that
time.
