Vintage Synth Repair

This looks like a good idea. Picture would be good. How thick is that  
tube? What was original use for it, if I want to buy such? Which  
grease did you use, some silicon? Does your restored keyboard work as  
expected?

I need to renew keyboards on my Multimoog and PPG Wave 2.2, and key  
bushings offered by different firms are rather expensive...

Thanks for any info.
