I think that most of the appliance gas valves are of the cone design. I have a 100 year old Magic Chef commercial range in the house with similar designed valves. I have to re-grease the controls every few years because of the wear as I can't replace them.
OP was right, the grease is expen$sive, but obtainable. I had to visit a few appliance repair shops before I found one that would sell this voodoo stuff to me as I was not "qualified".
If you search the gas appliance repair sites, the all have some kind of message that if not done correctly, re-greasing the controls will kill you and your hair will catch on fire, etc, etc.
Same can be said with re and re-ing the wheel bearings on our rigs. If not done correctly.. I am sure a gas fitter will pipe in about now....
