Dear Dan.
I have two of them, grey ones.
100W Tungsten house from Zeiss Jena Docuval
And 100W Mercury from Zeiss Jena Fluoval 2.
I am regreasing lamp alignment mechanism. Most of screws ceased to move so
I took it apart and washed in isopropyl alcohol. Now I put it back but I am
not sure which grease to use.
I would use a white lithium grease but I am not sure it will be up to the
task.

Thanks.
Petro.
