I scored an old Skipper 300 last week. It seems to work just fine except when I first powered it up the fan was very hard to turn and wouldn't run on it's own. I spun it by hand for a few minutes and it finally started working. Is there any way to lube the fan shaft or am I better off to just leave it alone now that it's running? Any ideas?:blush:

PB Blaster works great, it removes some corrosion and really lubes the bearings, shafts up, I use it on everything from band switches to outboard motors.
It is conductive so need to use compressed air to clean out any motor shaft after lubing it,
CRC350 also works well but not as good as Pb Blaster

Your welcome.
Keep the drive down going into that old Skipper and hopefully the tubes will last you a long time, AM is hard on tubes so if you like AM make sure you have a lower dead key and not to much drive to prolong the life of those old tube amps.
