lubricating old Fender tuning machines ?

Kevin Ruddell · From: Toledo Ohio USA

Any suggestions on what to use to lubricate my 53 Fender Dual Pro's tuning machines ?
I gave them a shot of super lubricant when I bought it almost 3 years ago through the "lollipop " slot but it's probably time to unscrew the assembly apart and do it right .
I did a few SGF searchs but maybe because of my confusion with the new interface I didn't get any results.

I unscrew the tuning pans from the guitar and apply some white lithium grease to the gears. I buy it at auto parts stores.

Frank Ford recommends Tri-Flow lubricant for tuning machines.

I want some good oil for the old tuners like on Stells from the 30 and Klusons enclosed. Nothing seems to work good.

I lube a lot all the parts and through the peg head and use my power string winder but I am not satisfied .

Tri-Flow is sold in bike stores, although I'm sure you can find an online source if you can't find it locally. Here is the article on Frets.com: Tune Up Your Gears!
