Hello Everyone,
I am back working on my Philco model 51-930 My big question of the Day is what type of grease should I use to lubricate the area where the pointer scale rides alone as you can see in the photo below .

my first thought was white lithium and the other grease that i have on hand is super lube and last is good old Phone lube.

So what is your thoughts ?

Sincerely Richard
