ozon1969 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I know that feeling.... had an issue with one of my first reps. Got it open, dismantled the movement and found a tiny, tiny issue, ordered some parts and was proud as hell when I closed the case and it ran like new. Good job!

Skywatch Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 For the grease just about any hardware / home improvement store sells silicone grease in the plumbing section for under $5.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
