Trust me my Gibson’s now are bone stock. Yes I go with the flow. I don’t live in the past.

wd-40 is a water displacer...it removes water and therefore prevents rust..it can also gunk up and attract dirt
for a lube, you want dupont teflon lube...
tho nine times out of 10 it's not a lube problem
the gears are not machined as well as they should be..high gear ratio..so there is play in the gears teeth...
lube wil prevent them from getting worse, but not cure
cheers

Your goal is to soften the hardened grease is all without causing any plating damage. Joe give it a try on your worst tuner. Make sure it is completely submerged. Once that old grease is softened up you will be good to go.

I am actually disappointed that I don't have the only GJS with a volute. I am not "special" anymore..

I know the tapastring uses a smaller hole but that didn’t look like something I was willing to do.
Good Luck with it.
