Lubricating Grease for Bally Medalist

[iramack]

Hello All,
I need to get some grease to lubricate the reel assembly on my Medalist.

It has recently been in storage and when I play it, the 3rd reel jumps one position and then immediately stops.
This behavior goes away after considerable warm up time and then the reels spin normally.

So bottom line, I need to know what kind of Grease to use.

Thanks for the help.

Some techs have recommended white lithium grease. There are also oil holes on the hubs of each reel. Use 3 In One oil.

It's solely depends on the temperature and the environment you live in what kind of grease and oil you want to use it looks like you live in Texas you first must understand the machine is never designed to be cool down it is designed to run 24/7 and operate properly at a hundred and ten degrees inside the case I personally after working on these machines for many many decades recommend turbine oil on everything it can be obtained through most small hardware stores under the brand name of Zoom spout it is a little heavier than 3 in 1 oil a little wider than Gun oil and it will lubricate the entire machine I have one in my game room last year I was playing it was 28 degrees in the game room never had a problem okay I have to add oil every couple of months in the summer time when it's 90 degrees in there but I never have to worry in the winter I can still play
