Never said it was, the statement clearly qualified is simply based on what was said right here.

This seems to be the most recommended lube for this type of stick.  I'll get some to compare with the SuperLube, which is pretty amazing stuff.  SL is also viscous enough to stay put, which is important in this application.

Supposedly Molykote 44 is the same chemical makeup as the "official" Shin-Etsu grease recommended by Sanwa.

I haven't tried SuperLube, interested in your comparison.

If it is sticking , that's not normal operation.  Contact me by email, and I will see what can be done to address the issue.

So, I undid the accuator mod, isopropyled (sure, that's a verb now) the petroleum jelly out of there, and hit it with some Super Lube, the bottle of which should last me for the next 25 years. It's back to feeling a lot more responsive, and while it still isn't my preferred stick to use for everything, it is a marked improvement and I plan on keeping it around. I think I'm going to keep it in 8-way mode and use it as a diagonal stick for Zaxxon, Q-Bert, and the like. Maybe the diagonal stick will hang out on my track ball/spinner CP that I plan on making down the road, when I can't resist Tempest and Centipede any longer. Or, maybe I'll just have a dedicated diagonal-stick panel. Whatever!

My point is- Super Lube helped. Thanks for the tips!

You'll use it.  It's good for just about anything that squeaks or needs to move easier.  Once you start using it around the house, car, shop, etc., you'll wonder how you lived without it ;)
