There is a national firm nearby in Lake Geneva, WI, "Klockit" that is a leading supplier to clockmakers. http://www.klockit.com/ They sell oil. I was fixing an old pendulum clock that stopped. Spraying with WD 40 did not help. I cleaned it with solvent and went to Klockit. That had oil in 3 oz contailers. One type was $4 and the other was $20. I opted for the lower price. It worked on the clock and some of the shutters I fixed on cheaper cameras. Ever since I got oil into the shutter blades I don't attempt to oil Rolleis. The $20 oil may have been whale or some synthetic oil r ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Knoppow" <dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 4:13 AM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: OT: Question re shutter CLA and Ronsonol > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jerry Lehrer" <jerryleh@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 7:37 PM > Subject: [rollei_list] Re: OT: Question re shutter CLA and > Ronsonol > > I have a bottle of Nyoil which I bought from the web I > think.
