I use a drop of light machine oil on the pivots. There's no metal sleeve; the
canvas in the phenolic tends to soak up oil and lets it wick out over time,
making a very good self-lubricating system. Oil-soaked phenolic looks
darker than phenolic that has had all the oil washed out by some sort of
solvent.
