<DIV>Don,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try <STRONG><U>White Lube</U></STRONG> ( metal on metal ) or
<STRONG><U>Ivory Soap</U></STRONG> ( wood on wood; wood on metal; felt on wood;
felt on felt ).</DIV>
<DIV>It's the cheapest and best for the kind of squeaks just listed. </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, LONG term results are good.</DIV>
<DIV>It may require disassembly for adequate results. Worth the
effort.</DIV>
<DIV>Make sure all parts are good, and no rubbing anywhere.</DIV>
<DIV>Should be yearly maintenance item.</DIV>
<DIV>Try it. You'll like it.</DIV>
