Someone recently posted a message stating that for the
Crown Graphic "the specified lubricant is #107
Lubriplate". I called Lubriplate today and they said
that, while #107 might be good for lubricating cameras,
their #105--which is a slightly lighter variation of
the #107--would probably be better.
How critical is the EXACT kind of grease have to be for
lubricating the rails of the Crown Graphic?
Was #105 Lubriplate RECOMMENDED BY GRAFLEX 35 or 40
years ago, and throughout Crown's history, or was this
a personal recommendation by someone OUTSIDE the
company?
Also, both the #107 and #105 Lubriplate DO NOT DRY
after applying--and yet the person who posted the
earlier message said to "just use a lubricant which is
drying after applying, so it won;t collect dust and
dirt."
Thanks.
