I looked - no sewing supply stores actually open except IN TO.
Mineral oil from the Px WAS considered; as it is typically about ISO60-80 viscosity and I need ISO10 non-detergent mineral oil, not a good choice. Probably grenade the plastic impeller. Again; the small bottles are just too small, guys... I'd need 4-5 of them. Then there's Shipping & Duty. And clipper oil typically has silicone additives, and NO IDEA what the viscosity is.
The guy downtown is the way to go by far... if I wasn't already walkin' around bowlegged from the fuckery of Canada Post, I'd actually consider paying the $9 for Express Delivery. Except that is EXACTLY the service that has taken 18 days (and counting - plugholes DID NOT deliver today either) to get my package of parts from Mississauga to "not quite delivered yet". It took 11 days to get picked, packed, over here on a boat from China, passed through customs and handed off to them.
I DID get back to the 2KVA Step-Up XFMR... and things got ugly quick. Blood was spilled and there was a decapitation... I'll update tomorrow as I'm about to fall over.
