Reconditioned in 1965? What are the chances that the action bushings are teflon and not traditional felt? Graphite and teflon -- what a mess. Z!

I am loathe to put ANY lubrication in the action, this in my mind is a shortcut not worth taking. This is a 1927 M that was reconditioned in 1965. The rest of the instrument; soundboard, bridge and dampers are original and in excellent condition, although some dampers are starting to wear. The action is a tad worn, but not in need of an overhaul, its the hammers that are close to shot.
