Oil may work well on turntables, but don't use them for pneumatics. I oiled them
with some kind of oil (I can't remember), and now they stick and stutter when you
pull them. They seem to operate fine now, but not if they get much worse. I would
not use any oil, just pop them open and clean them. You may damage the part
irreversibly, and turntables are hard to replace cheaply. Graphite should be safe,
but you never know...

| (...) Why would one "never know"? This is chemistry, not astrology. Graphene sheets (the molecular unit of graphite) are quite stable and inert. Most hydrocarbon oils should also be fine for turntables and other parts with all-ABS construction (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
