The Rollei Service Factory manual (1974) indicates the: "special
grease LO AL5/B1" to lubricate the focus cams. LO is for Losimol, a
German special lubricants manufacturer that still exists (english
version): http://www.losimol.de/start_e.htm
Losimol still manufactures special lubricants for cameras and others
fine mechanics products.
According a Jan Boettcher (Rollei Museum) info, Rollei is using for
the FX, FW and FT a "white" grease from Klueber for some focusing
mechanism parts, however they still use a Losimol amber grease for
the curves focusing mechanism parts (f.e.cams). Losimol changed the
names for their lubricants but I think if someone is really interested
on the topic he could ask them for the equivalent directly. BTW, I
also think a good technician would about similar products.
