Hello all,
My first post here, I was able to find a Benjamin H-9 Dive alarm with the Navy anchor stamp and dated 6-27-42. I am in the process of restoring it and have come up with an issue. On each end of the motor shaft there is a vertical lubrication cup which has a spring loaded cotton wick. When dissembling the alarm the cups have a grease like material in them. The problem is I don't know if that is grease of solidified oil. I don't know if i should use grease or some type of oil when i put in back together. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
