Does anyone know what modern product I should use?
From the published MSDS, the cleaner was nothing more
than
Trichlorotrifluoroethane, which is probably on the "CFC banned"
list.
You should probably contact Nye to see if they made the HP slidewire
lubricant and what they would suggest. They make/made a wide variety
of products that HP used, including a variety of electrical and
optical greases.
In my experience with various chart recorders, cleaning was done with
a soft cloth and nothing more--and no lube at all. The customary
silver bead contact would be replaced periodically, but that's the
extent of slidewire maintenance that I'm familiar with.
