Jack, I would have replied by email, but I lost your email address. That line about the turbine
lube really scared me. I got a couple air turbine starters from the DRMO and they included a high-speed
planetary gearbox full of oil. It feels and smells "wierd" and it appears to be maybe 10 weight. I got
a good bit on me and it didn't kill me yet, but is there a way to tell if one is dealing with the
"phosphated ester" compounds? You never know what's in some of that stuff from the DRMO.
