El Gamo 68

[824tsv]

Good morning Folks,
I'm a new member and have done the cursory Google search but can't seem to find an answer.
I have a El Gamo 68 that I purchased new in the very early 70's. I've rediscovered it and would like to use it but it's sat idle for decades. I would like to lubricate it but don't know where to or how to do that. Can anyone with one of these advise what to use and where to lubricate it. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
I've looked through those, but didn't see anything about maintenance. There is a link to the owners manual out there, but it doesn't cover maintenance.

Thank you!
That was quite informative. I guess the old adage applies “if it isn’t broke”……..

There is a ton of information in our GTA Library. It could use some updating and organizing but it's still a good source.
