Since teflon/Ebony Star bearings need to be waxed for optimum performance, has anyone tried using blocks of wax for bearings?
Wax bearings?

What gave you the idea that Ebony Star needs wax on Teflon? You're driving a telescope. Wax, or any other lubricant, is likely to turn it into a weather vane. Years ago, on a hunch, I tried Pledge furniture wax on a scope of mine. Too slick. I took it off with alcohol, back to normal.
