We went through this (with TR-4A, -250, and -6) a few months ago. What
we finally decided was that the switch from grease to 90W happened when
the -4A came out (1965), and was mainly to try to avoid problems
resulting from grease "caking" in the lubrication channels and never
reaching the steel/brass mating surface.

Since you know that you have fresh grease in there now, you probably
needn't worry at the moment, but should clean it up at the next occasion.
