Author Topic: lubricating friction roller Ernemann 8b Joop de Gruiter Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Lund, Sweden Registered: Jul 99 posted 05-01-2003 04:41 PM                     Can anyone tell me what I should use to lubricate a friction roller on an Ernemann 8b. Since there is a piece of filt, giving the friction, I don´t want to use oil, right?
