Who stocks "specific organ" oil?

You just can't make this stuff up.

Seriously, the stuff exists but be careful what you type in to Google to find it.

I have a tube of hammond organ oil. It goes into the organ as well as into the leslie tone cabinet. It is a very specialized type of oil...... and it ain't cheap.

Why were you googling it?

Why were you googling it?

To see if such a product really exists. I didn't take the time to see what it did.

In a Hammond organ, there's a tone wheel generator which has lotsa gears in it. You need to oil them periodically or it'll stop turning over. It's also for some other parts like the vibrato controls and inside the tone cabinet motor assemblies and horns.
