I've been an organ tech (as well as piano) for nearly 25 years. DON'T use 3 in 1 oil on a Hammond generator! People nearly cry when I tell them that I'll have to come back every year to hand lubricate 92 bearings because their 3 in 1 or sewing machine oil botched up the wicking system of the generator. Use the Hammond oil! Get it from Jerry Welch of the Organ Service Co. mentioned in another post.
