I have thoroughly cleaned my HF100R mechanism, and have lubricated it with 3-in-1 electric motor oil and moly-graph grease. My guides have been the original Seeburg lubrication chart, and the Ron Rich manual. I also plan to put a light application of grease on the fiber gear. But, I haven't seen anything saying that the cam lobes need lubrication. Should I put a little grease on the cam as well? |

The reason you see no info on that, is because the answer is---AB-soul-lut-ley, NOT ! Oil the rollers, make sure they turn--"grease" WILL "gum" em' up !! Ron Rich ( BTW--thanks for purchasing the Guide !)

Thank you sir, I will keep the grease away from the cam! I have all of the rollers turning freely except one... As seen from the rear of the mechanism, it is just to the right of the clutch. I've cleaned it and oiled it and can turn the roller by hand, but it does not turn on it's own during normal operation. Any suggestions for freeing it up? It is not easy to get to.

I have had success freeing up rollers that won't turn by heating them with a hair dryer or heat gun. That will soften the solidified grease or oil. After it moves freely, remove the 'E' clip holding the roller onto the shaft and thorouly clean and re lube.

If it will turn by hand--keep "turning it", and oiling it with 20 wt. It will eventually loosen up and turn when it should--At that point, remove all the oil from the cam lobe and the roller contact area itself. On the gears--Use A VERY tiny amount of ("graphite")grease on the gears, only if all old "stuff" has been removed first !! Ron Rich

Thanks guys, I will keep working at it until it loosens up. And I will try a little heat to see if that helps. This roller doesn't have an e-clip, looks like it was permanently installed with a pressed in pin. I did have to remove the roller that rides on the brake cam to get that one going... it did have an e-clip and washer. This one was easy!
Just looked on a parts list. The part with the sticky roller is called the "Detent Arm Lever Assembly."

If you have the detent arm roller moving you "got lucky" -- I have seen the pins that support the roller split, from lack of oil--
