in the statement below - what is ATF?

I don't know of an "official" position on bearing lube but we've been doing this for years and this is what we do. I mix 50/50 Acetone and ATF to wash/clean out the bearings, then I lube with 3-in-One oil and sometimes also with a light white lithium lube. The secret is clean and lubed.

thanks

ATF= automatic transmission fluid.

Personally I do not like the smell of ATF, mix oil with acetone or clean bearings with brake cleaner, then lubricate.

@Motorhead Extraordinaire: I have a couple older model Lista Intl. cabinets which I am looking for end-caps and the drawer pull inserts (long plastic strips). If you have either of these, I'm interested! I'm also only about 30min south of you - could pick up if that's easier.

The end-caps are triangular in shape (when viewed from the side, installed) and have a tab which requires a screwdriver to release. Roughly 2" x 1" overall dimension when removed - they look like a "single-story house" shape. I can't post pictures or links yet - i'll update once I can.

The labels and plastic cover inserts are ~30-1/4" long x 3/4" high (the measurements are slightly more than this; suspect could be metric: 770mm x 20mm). These labels insert/slide in from one end after the end cap has been removed. I realize these could be easy to make out of thin plastic sheet stock...just no idea where I could find this type of material.
