- Re: Shugart disk drive lubrication
-
- I recently received some valuable info re lubrication of
- Shugart 8" drives, prompted by intermittant squeaking from
- a drive! Carefully, spray a small amount of aerosol sili-
- cone lubricant on the lead screw (without getting it all
- over the place!) I was amazed at the noise reduction I saw
- immediately. According to my source, Shugart has done this
- themselves in spite of no mention in service manuals. It
- certainly hasn't hurt my drive operation. Don't use a
- lubricant with any petroleum base... pure silicone (food
- grade) only! The brand I have is called Sprayway, from
- Sprayway, Inc., Addison, Ill 60101.
