Uh oh.

     One of the Shugart 851 8" drives in a cabinet started making a
squeeking noise shortly after being turned on.  I took it out, didn't
find any loose pieces, turned it back on again, and the noise got
louder.  Then I shut it down and took it off-line.

     I presume the spindle bearings are dry.  But what about lubricants?

     Is there something specific I should put in there or will my
can of spray lubricant (something called "tefrawn") do?
