  1. I have been sucking on a pint can of Eastman Camera Works Lubricant 6229-A for the past 50 years. I've used it to lubricate Cine Kodak Special IIs, B&H Eyemos, Filmos, Auricons, CP-16s, Fastax, Mitchel 16s, Hulcher 35 & 70mm, and Bolexi of all calibers. From its smell, the oil is a spermacetti-based lubricant. However, I have no other clues as to its formulation. BTW: My own (former-stupidly sold it years ago) Special II came with a set of spring-steel focal plane mattes ... about 40 of them ... for making in-camera split-screens. Quarter screens, circles, ovals, hearts, diagonals, etc., etc. I had an one extra magazine also, but the extra had a light leak I could never quite find or fix. Anyway, good luck at finding some usable lube ... my guess is that Mobil 1 5W30 might be the best substitute.
