I've never seen one without that thick hard paste in them. (are they always GREEN also? Are those washers copper plated?)
I've seen many that are just oiled, no thick paste residue.
The washers are brass if I'm not mistaken...and that would make them self-lubricating in the old days. Perhaps they are sintered bronze - which would then led to oil-impregnated at time of assembly. So little information from the factory! Why couldn't someone have filmed a distributor mechanism maintenance training session, eh?
Going to pay really close attention on the next stack we work on. May be soon as we have a lovely 1015 in the shop on consignment sale...

I’ve been looking for info on lube/reassembling the record trays for a model 1100. There are a few schools of thought here, some say assemble it dry and others say a small amount of oil. I’m pretty sure this has come up in the past but I couldn’t find the discussion. Just wondering what others have done? I read one interesting post on another forum saying Tri-Flo lube was the only thing to use here. I’ve got the stack apart and cleaned and ready to go back together. Thanks, Mauro
