First I want too add that you do not use just any oil when doing what I do, you use an oil that will leave no gummy residue, an oil that completely dries in 1 to 2 years.
I oil the coil plungers, I've done this for years and if you use the right stuff, the coils stay nice and clean. I know what everyone says, NEVER OIL THE COILS! but I've tried it (one drop is enough) and it works great.

I'm on pins and needles, which oil are you referring to?

I've used oil in the past as well, used it on my TZ clock gears to make them more quiet. It is a teflon based oil, you can buy it at Radio Shack, it isn't supposed to attract and trap dust the same way regualr oil does. I haven't had any problems with using it on my TZ clock.
But I don't think I'd use it on every coil, there is no need.
sorry Claude, I didn't mean to say the LEDs made it quiet, I'm just saying the clock has leds. no comments on the oil ( or the castrol ... wonder what you'll end up doing with those now! ) I've made another clock quieter with the teflon ( or 3/1) oil but never as quiet as mine ... it rules
ok stop it .. you'll make me regret it

Super Lube (PTFE = Teflon) http://www.super-lube.com/ on metal to metal contact only, like spinners, and kick-out plunger pivot points, and sometimes on plastic to metal like drop targets (where recommended by the manufacturer), and that sort of thing.
