Alcohol and cotton swabs (Q-Tips if you have those in Holland) help a lot. If it is really crusty definitely get rid of it, perhaps even scraping it away with a screwdriver tip to start. <br /><br />Re-grease with white lithium, oil the motor with something like 10w30 motor oil. I often use something a bit thicker for platter bearings. Chain oil, as in bikes and chainsaws, works well for that.

If your steuerpimpel is still working, maybe I would leave it but perhaps it was even replaced at some point in the past. <br /><br />You can always check 16 gauge wire as that is the more common household variety. Hardware store guy just gave me a piece of the 14g stuff you see but if this did not as work as well as it seems to do I would try other stuff too. <br /><br />I would suggest cutting it with proper wire strippers such as you see in the picture. These give it a nice straight cut and also roll the edge in a bit with might help give a smoother action. Cutting with scissors or a knife might not work as well, leaving an angle for example.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907913526416795485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842679627672587079.post-78966756725909182172013-06-26T13:03:39.028-07:002013-06-26T13:03:39.028-07:00I love my 1228, the steuerpimple is still in tact,...I love my 1228, the steuerpimple is still in tact, but I'm already planning on pre-emtpively replacing it. Was planning on using a length of pen refill, but think I'll go this route now. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
