I've doing a CLA on an Exa 0 using the translated Exa manual and Jesito's photos (mentioned in another post on this site) as a guide. I've gotten the camera successfully disassembled. It's remarkably clean inside, surprisingly.

But what nobody has mentioned (not even in the service manual), is the recommended lubrication guidelines.

So, can anyone suggest the necessary lubrication points for this camera and also an appropriate lubricant? Based on what I see, the shutter is pretty simple and has just a few bearing points.

Secondly, the winding mechanism gear train is a bit gunky with old grease. I was planning to clean it with Ronsonol and then lightly lubricate it with a light gear grease. Sound OK?

Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.
