    I’m working on my first Midway motorized score reels. It is a wall game - 1972 Bulls Eye.

    Best approach for cleaning these leather washer/clutches? They are pretty gummed up with oil. Naphtha or a degreaser? I plan to add neatsfoot oil to them as that is what the bingo folk seem to do. How much is too much?

    Any other tips for these motorized assemblies besides taking lots of photos?

    Thanks.

    I’m assuming the leather should be as clean and dry as possible, given that the neatsfoot oil is a conditioner/preservative more than a lubricant.

    But I’ve never seen a bingo style leather washer...

    Quoted from djblouw:

    Also, I think these seemed to be a felt-type material on mine, not leather.

    I agree these seem more like felt. The parts catalog lists them as “35-135 WASHER - LEATHER” however.
