Default Kinds of oil

It's a TEAC A-3340


I've got one of them 1/4 track rather than half though.


And aren't they great?

Mine has been sitting in the garage for 15 years. I spent the past
couple of days stripping it down, cleaning, lubricating and reassembling
it.

Mechanically, it seems in excellent shape. The rubbers have hardened and
will need to be replaced. All three motors are as silent and smooth as
ever. It runs beautifully. The only glitch is that one of the microphone
inputs is doing an impression of frying bacon. I hope that can be
repaired readily.

The A-3340s were all 1/4 track, not 1/2 track, though.
