The main place they seem to really need lube is inside the cup where the
spinning "flywheel" turns the cup that moves the needle.  It's tough to get
in there.  I've dripped 90wt gear lube in them before and it worked fine.  I
might try spray white lithium next time???  They need lube where the
"flywheel" shaft rides in the housing also.  I've had to take them back out
and lube them every time that I've been lazy and just installed them....
