ANCO Timer Lube

Post by Gracie'sDad » Tue Jul 16, 2024 11:38 am

What does everyone use for non conductive lube for their ANCO timers? I've used a blob of Vaseline for years with no problems. Is there something better?

I believe this is a type of "high pressure" lube - it's what I use - https://www.modeltford.com/item/3221LUB.aspx

Vaseline was certainly around during the Model T era. Haven't I seen I seen a published recommendation to use it on a T? Ford? Fahnestock? Gasoline Alley?
