[pianotech] PianoDisc Malfunctioning Solenoids

[Dean May]

As I remember it is strictly against Pianodisc protocol to use any kind of lubricant. The solenoids get pretty warm during normal operation. 

They are easy enough to change.

Can those things have a drop of oil to protect them as a service item...
