Hammond Oil

[Gittinger, Delbert M.]

I've been an organ tech (as well as piano) for nearly 25 years.  DON'T use
3 in 1 oil on a Hammond generator!  People nearly cry when I tell them that
I'll have to come back every year to hand lubricate 92 bearings because
their 3 in 1 or sewing machine oil botched up the wicking system of the
generator.

Use the Hammond oil!  Get it from Jerry Welch of the Organ Service Co.
mentioned in another post.
