Hi Guys,

I’ve had to remove the capstan wheels on my boom box , the old belts are just black rubber mush, should I lubricate the capstan shaft on re fitting? If so what should I use, I know a lot of people have very different ideas what to use but I have some power steering oils, Clipper shaver oil 2 stroke oil and some motor oil, will any of these be any good?

Thanks,
Chris.
