As Larry said, it's also used on the 420 and I think it'll be needed for the
320 VCLFO if I'm not mistaken. If you get a tube of it, I suggest storing it
with the cap down since i tried storing it with the cap up and found that
after a few months it separated a bit, such that most of the goop went to the
bottom of the tube but a very small amount of a very slippery film went to
the top -- just about enough to cover the top of a tranny pair so when the
goop comes out it immediately slides off sticking to everything but the
tranny pair.
