Your lubricant was nearly new and did not seem to be of a type that dries up, even after 22 years. Of course it is always possible that your unit has a different lubricant, but I suspect something else wrong with their mechanical arm. If I had to guess it would be that the plastic inner gears or cogs are worn, or perhaps that some part is cracked. -Robin >this will be very interesting to watch.. > >Seller will ship WorldWide > >i have a defective Robot (as well as a working one)..if this goes for an >"ungodly" >amount i might very well put my defective one up soon after > > > >http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5944292935 > >Steve
