What type of Lubricant do you recommend for the internal mechanics of a followspot. We have two Strong Trouperette III follow spots, and the chopper and the iris are squeaking. Badly. And the follow spots are only about three feet from the back row of seats.
Also, any way to quiet the noise of the fan? Obviously it is not a good Idea to attempt to muffle it or cover it in any way. Like I said, the follow spot is only about three feet from the back row, so it is quite loud.
Edit: None of the three versions of the manual have a suggested lubricant. If I had to guess, we would have the Type 3 Trouperette III
