Hi guys Wondering what Teflon lube you use on your Ems and where I might buy some.

Never used teflon grease on a pinball. I use singer oil or the trusty "3 in 1" - mainly for stepper unit shafts when rebuilding and I smear a drop on my finger for the backerlite assemblies.

Thanks Nino thought I will give my ems a service and I read about Teflon lube on the steppers. But I will be following your advice . Thanks

Some years ago I bought a tube of Superlube (I think from O/S) which lasted a very long time .. you can get it here

I've used it on all my EM's .. works very well but you only need to use it sparingly .. just a smear on moving parts will do

Recently I bought a tube of this stuff from BCF but haven't tried it yet
