The focusing track on my Horseman VHR is a bit stiff and isn't running as smoothly as it used to. I imagine I need to lubricate the focusing track?? What do you use??

Clean it first then use a bicycle chain wax based liquid lubricant, because they don't leave a sticky residue. I use Ice Wax. A small bottle will last a lifetime.

Wood to wood I use beeswax or if thats not available, then Butcher's wax. Metal to metal I use just a teenie-weenie dab of the thickest lubriplate they make--just enough to moisten my fingertip.

Thanks for the help! I have some white lighting wax based lube for my mountain bike. Tomarrow we leave for the Coyote Buttes area of Southern Utah. Should be an adventure!
Hugh, Ice Wax or White Lightning are the absolute best for the Southwest. Once it dries it does not collect dust and sand!
