Hi,
I'm wanting to remove the dirt of the Ages from the shift slides of a Sinar F+ and replace the lubricant. And give both standards a good cleaning in the process. Removing the frame from the shift slide is easy (and reveals the slide could really use a lubricant replacement), but I haven't the slightest as to what lubricant to use. What's on the slides now looks like plumbers' high temp grease, but looks can be deceptive.
Also, there's a noticeable (though not horrific) slack in the focus rack on the rear standard. Any suggestions for tightening that up would be helpful. I suspect this might involve a new rack, since it appears to be nylon or similar polymer material.
Thanks in advance,
BAB
