squeaky damper tray

[jpiesik@arinc.com]

    I've had similar problems on newer Samicks and a new Schimmel.  One of
    the Samicks was so tight that I had to pull the back action, repin the
    underlever flanges, ream out the guide rail bushings, and lube it.
    Fortunately, it was under warranty and Samick graciously reimbursed me
    for the work with little cost to my client (Samick made a very good
    impression on me and my client! - Samick has always been great to deal
    with!).  But, like I suggested in an earlier post, I have used Protek
    directly on the guide rail bushings to stop squeaks.  If you're
    concerned about over-soaking the guide rail bushings, try soaking a
    paper towel or cloth and rubbing it along the damper wires.  Protek is
    great stuff, now if I could just find a better tool to apply it.  Good
    luck.

The Samick I had difficulty with on the "squeaky" pedal turned out to be
damper wires squeaking in the guide rail. All I did was rub my oily
fingers on the wire and that took care of the squeak. I am, however, not
convinced it won't start squeaking again. What would be the "correct"
lubrication for this problem?
