Lar if you want the real thing go down to your local airport to an aviation
mechanic and you can find the real MIL spec grease just like the old
teletype grease.  I have a can of it and it works perfectly.

I took the motor off of my RCA 66 WPM TD that feeds my 66 WPM Model 15's to 
get the gear number.  I was not happy to find that the lithium grease I 
sprayed on there seemed to have little or no persistency....i.e. not much 
lube there.

I'm headed down to the auto parts store to get some real grease and now I 
guess I'll have to do all the machines that I originally so brilliantly did 
with lithium spray on grease....damn!
