Some time ago I had a couple of small vials of a very
light oil that I think was called rose oil. It was used to
lubricate mechanical watches back in the day.
It was a pink color, which is probably why it was
called that. It was supposed to be very expensive.
If a very light, non-dust-attracting oil is what they need,
I'm thinking that Hammond oil might be the ticket.
(That's the oil that is used in the generators of Hammond
organs.) Organ Service Co. has it in stock.
