"King Sure Slick" Found in My 1976 King 3B Case

Post by CarlVicVogel »

Hi All

I never knew King made a liquid slide lubricant. Check out the picture-it was made prior to their purchase by AMI. I have only tried it once and so far, not overly impressed enough to switch from my Slide-O-Mix treatment.

Anyone else ever used this lube?

Thanks

I remember getting a bottle of this (or something like it) with my brand new King 3BF in 1978. I don't recall a thing about it, but the picture brought back the fuzzy memory.

It's not being sold today. That should tell you something.

I remember having a bottle way back in the day. Slightly better than oil but cold cream ( or super slick) was better.

Just opened a new old stock 3Bf case today and found a brand new unopened bottle of King Sure Slick!
