I have no idea whether or not one should use anything like WD 40 on a 
Hammond; the only person I know who says he is an "expert" on their 
restoration and upkeep  says he will never use Hammond brand oil on 
them, but ........

WD 40 was invented as a water displacer. and I also use it to carry 
oils deeper into the parts of things like pruning shears and various 
automotive tools....
however I know virtually nothing about the workings of the Hammond. 
which is why I am here. It is not possible to get real information 
from the "expert" in case that would be your next question.
