Greetings,

   Any suggestions to safely yet effectively lubricate technic turntables? I
have four which are somewhat stiff and require a fair amount of torque to
rotate. Thanks in advance!

DISCLAIMER:  I've never tried this...

I'd definitely avoid any kind of liquid lubricant.

I'd guess that a dry graphite lubricant would work - the kind of thing that's
recommended for lubricating door locks that comes with a nice thin nozzle to
direct it where you need it.

Kinda messy though - you might get that black stuff leaking out everywhere for
months afterwards!
