Hi,
My pop gave me 2 sets of his old clippers. One is a Remington and one is WAHL. They are human clippers not horse ones. But my pop was just going to throw them out, they work fine just he upgraded. So I am going to use the WAHL one mostly, mainly just to clip the halter tracks. I have a good set of WAHL horse clippers I have had for a few years, but we just got the blades replaced and wow... they are a bit pricey for 2 bits of metal.
So to my question. I don't think my pop really cleaned them out at all. He just kept oiling them. But when I clean MY clippers I sit down and take it to pieces and get every bit of hair out of it I disinfect them and oil them, then put them back in its box after every use (sometimes I dont oil every time as it is not recommended). And I took the blades off pops and it was filled with old hair and oil, then there is a little sponge bit under the blades, it was just un usable, it just kept breaking into little sponge pieces and it was a mess. I ended up cleaning them up and now I dont have that spongey bit for it. Which leads to my question.
Do I need that spongey bit? (If you dont know what I mean I will post photos at the end) Is there an alternative thing I can use for it? Can I use without? Im pretty sure it is to catch all the hair and stop it from going into the motor. Would felt work? Or can I buy a replacement?
Here is the top of my pops clippers:

Here is pops clippers with no spongey bit:
And mine with the spongey bit:
So if anyone is familiar with WAHL or clippers, can you help me out? They would be a handy pair of clippers to do little jobs.
