Does anyone know any hammond oil suppliers in Europe?
Hi! Hows it going? I was wondering... does anyone know where to get tone generator oil for a fair price? So far, I've found this in the UK... but seems quite expensive isnt it?. Maybe some one selling oil in germany/belgium (I'm from spain, but dont think anyone sells it here)
Thanks for reading guys
It comes from the USA.... that's a fair price.
It's about AUD $30 per 4oz (118mL) bottle shipped to Australia.
Honestly I wouldn't be complaining about the price.
One bottle should last years, unless you plan on doing a naptha flush - then you might need a whole bottle in one go.
It's not worth messing around trying to find alternatives.
Yes, you can try Singer sewing machine oil - but some of the experts advise to only use genuine Hammond Oil. Others say they've used Singer oil for decades with no issues.
Personally for the price, why bother with the risk - just get the real thing.

Medical grade mineral oil. Nujol was printed on the original metal plate oiling instructions from the plant, as a suitable substitute in the early days, including the statement to oil every three months, which soon proved to be unnecessary The old debate rages on.
