Too bad we don't know all the components and proportions of the original compensator grease.

Amen! And my guess is that it probably won't come to light. And you're right on target about MoS2, it's been around for a long time as both a dry lubricant and an additive for gel and paste lubricants. It's particularly nice for high temperature applications as it sublimes (goes from a solid to a vapor w/o passing thru a liquid stage) at 450 degrees Centigrade!, far higher than the conventional components of typical greases.

And since it's been additive on otherwise conventional greases for so long, I don't quite understand the compatibility question, prior history would say it's been compatible for all those years, why not now? Pretty much the same thinking goes for graphite, another ingredient in the StaLube 3303.
