Default Update on SG4 repairs

If you remember, the focuser was very hard to use, over the years the goo
that had been used as a lub had turned hard and sticky. So after taking it
off the scope and using gas to clean it, yesterday I got a tube of white
grease, I could not lub about all the scopes in the AV area for life.

today I relubed the parts today and have put it back together, works just
now. Monday I'll remount it on the scope, then next month I'll need to get a
can of black paint for the repaiting of the scope.
