ampia/mercato pasta machine squeaky

I've tried to contact them, but so far .........
We have a 40 or 50 year old model 110.

It's begun to be a little squeaky.  I'm looking for info on how and what to safely lubricate it.

Ours is almost 50 yrs old also. Bought it in the French Quarter when we were first married. I actually have only had to add the mineral oil one time !  Works perfectly. Make sure you are keeping all the crumbs cleaned up from inside. We make pasta about 1x a week so ours gets a lot of use.

Thanks very.  Have to get some mineral oil.  We don't make it that often, just isn't enough time and energy.  Perhaps 2x a year.  I think my MiL whos machine it was, made it more often.
