Paul,
I'm not an expert but what I have used from time to time are:
Silicon grease with a temperature range from -40 to +400 deg F.
NON-detergent, light motor oil.
I'm sure the real Drake experts can provide much better suggestions.

Drake experts,
I'm carefully cleaning dried grease & accumulated crud from the spindles
and reduction drive of an R-4A preselector that is dragging and consequently
slipping. What's the best lubricant to use on the reduction drive itself?
NOTE: Based on Garey's advice I did *NOT* remove the shaft & reduction drive
because of possible alignment issues, so I would guess that I'd have to either
use a heavy oil (sparingly) or some kind of grease squeezed into the bearing
housing.
Paul, K4MSG
