Oh, those I have not seen. I have disassembled and re-assembled the tuning cap from my Philco 20 which is exact same thing only with 3 sections, and I only noticed contact friction at the back and the front. If you see anything that rubs against each other, sure, put just a speck of it there. I only put it in front/back and it became really nice, rotating easily, and with no squealing.
