Quoted from LOTR_breath:Agreed. Super lube is good, I get it from work for free. But there is another I get from work for free and it is my go to lube for pinball machines. It is called Tri-Flow. It is a lightweight oil with Teflon. Works great on spinners. Comes with a tiny diameter straw to put a small amount exactly where you want it!
There is an added bonus with Tri-Flow. It smells nice! Like bananas.
I prefer SuperLube Gel for loaded pivot points like stepper units in EM and kickers like the OP has. There is a Superlube Aerosol too. Very good for the initial soak of gummed up parts and also like you use Tri-Flow, I use the tiny straw to put it just where I want it. It goes on thinner than Tri-Flow but lubricates just as well IMO.
I use Tri-Flow a lot but not in pinball machines. I feel like it is thicker and leaves more of a residue. I use it on bicycle chains, door hinges, paddlocks, door latches, etc... I can hit those things really hard and then wipe off the extra.
