The manual for my Otari MX-5050 MKIII 8-track specifies Anderol 456 for lubing the capstan motor bearings. The product still exists, but it doesn't seem easy to locate in small quantities (five gallons for $275, anyone?)
I don't really have anything comparable on hand, mostly because you can't lube 3M capstan motors. I do have a little can of 3-in-1 20 weight motor oil. Anyone have a source for a good alternative capstan motor lube designed for a wide temperature range with minimal gumming and deposits and low wear?
Cheers,
Otto
