It is a mess. I really don't recall how long but I'm fairly certain it was less than 4 hours. That is like a lifetime onsite. It was my first one. I think John R does a lot of them, see if he chimes in here again.
If you do decide to do it onsite, I'd bring something to lay parts down on and to keep grease from spreading. Personally, I think the next time I'd take it to the shop. There are probably a few other parts gummed up. I've only done maybe 2 or 3 more but that was in the shop and I probably did a better job.
I once bought a *restored* 1015 for a customer, from one of the biggest names in their restoration at the time (25-30 years ago). It had a crap load of defects and I ended up returning it laying down in my van. The point of this is to say that it *leaked* something like red transmission fluid out of the tray area, a lot of it! We were not on friendly terms so I didn't ask him what it was.

Don't do like me the first time I pulled a stack apart... remove every tray spring before starting!
I did one on the road in a house, not fun at all. That grease or oil turns into some weird looking green stuff and it doesn't come clean easy. I can't picture that on later ones. Has anyone else seen the green glue? Are they all like that if never cleaned/lubed since it left the factory?

And we are back to the old question, do you lubricate the record stack
and if so with what type of lubricant? Or do you clean and assemble it dry? Perhaps some silicone spray?
I’m gearing up to do an 1100 and still not 100% sure which way to go.

Has anyone come up with an easy way to free up sticky record trays

disassembling the stack assembly?
I'm dealing with a stubborn one that's been sitting idle for ten years

No short cut for this. The lube has dried up and needs to be cleaned
out and replaced.
Back when these machines were new the factory recommended a mechanism
overhaul/rebuild every six months for busy locations...
