This is what my Dad found to be true also. "Oily residue" might be a
polite way of putting it. WD-40 may solve the immediate problem. After
continued use however it builds up a
real nice sludge that requires better than your average solvent to get rid of.
My Dad serviced coin changers and every once and a while he'd get one, did in by
WD-40. The changer would have to be disassembled and hot dipped to get it
cleaned.

Larry
