What would be some good commonly available lubricants to substitute for things like "AX-1000 Gear Oil" and "Motiograph Movement Grease"? I will be cleaning and relubricating the projector because it has oil, grease, and Vaseline all over the gear side of the unit.
I know the intermittent uses grease instead of oil. I'm assuming the grease is not the automotive type. The projector is a Motiograph AAA, which is somewhat different from the Simplexes and Centurys with the greased intermittent.

You should be able to order those lubricants from Edward H. Wolk Company in Chicago (www.edwolk.com). Also, John Eickhof at Northwest Theater Equipment in Wendell, Idaho has some. Contact him at 1-800-341-3846 or (208) 536-5489 , Fax: 208-536-5308.

Motiograph AA intermittent grease was part # LP715. It was white and resembled Lubriplate.
I wonder if there's a connection?

The motiograph AA movement greese is APG90 gear oil (most outboard Motor shops sell it not the white lubriplate stuff) The white was used in some K movements
