Does anyone know what the "special" grease used on cam disc of a Hoover
Keymatic washing machine timer is?

Are you resroring this as a musium piece, or (dare I ask), is this machine
still in use?

The machine is in regular use, it was built to last! The timer is
dismantled for repair at the moment.

And why not. 1970s?

I've not seen the mechas on those from the inside, but as someone else
said if its non-electrical then any grease will do. If theres electrics
there, use only petroleum grease. Other greases become corrosive when
electricity is applied.
