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.
