Now that I've got my Varpa set up, it appears that the woman I bought it from (and the woman she bought it from?) never used it. For example, there was no rod lashed on to either apron. The Texsolv heddles had not been cut at top or bottom.
Anyway, here's my question. It's clear that all frame parts have been oiled, which is great. It's also clear that neither heddle bars, lamms, or jacks have ever been oiled. Should they be? If not oil, is there something I should put on them?
Thanks!
