I cleaned and oiled the rod and inspected for wear spots. There were none. There seemed to be some gunk, but the rod moved freely and didn't have any warped spots. Now the mechanism is much quieter and moves nicely. It was not screwed in tight enough, because now the screw stays put.

I also polished the metal and wiped everything down with a paintbrush. The tone holes looked good. Thanks for the tip about pipe cleaners and nail polish - I use pipe cleaners for reeds and seem to have misplaced my stash.

Thanks again for all of your advice everyone! Happy Monday.
