CD Mechanism Lubricant/Grease

[worthingpagan]

Does anyone have a recommendation for lubing the cd mechanism & rolling metal bars? I've read that some people use LaBelle 106 but others have stated it creates grease balls and makes things worse. I can't seem to find much online in the uk, any advice please? Cheers

Well Mark i have no problems with PTFE grease on the tray teeth, on the Rails i tent to clean & just lightly oil them (don't get anything near the belt)...

I use the same Finish Line ceramic chain lube that i use on my various bikes. Works fine with a syringe tip. In fact I just restored my Micromega Stage 3 to rude health with a complete sled strip and rebuild.

I used Bisley gun grease on the chrome glide rail of a Meridian 500 once - initial impressions were good and it worked for a while but it wasn't a 100% success longer term. It was fine whilst the transport was in daily use but leave it for a few days and the problems came back. More like the motor lacked the power to get the tray to move
