 Re: Key not lifting properly

"it's amazing how the tiniest amount of key oil in those fine spaces between fittings on rods can miraculously free up sticky mechanism"

This is only a get-you-out-of-a-corner remedy - you are only diluting the old, dirty & sticky oil. It is time for a proper service - get it stripped down & all the old gunk cleaned off & start over with fresh oil.

Of course this might not be the answer to your difficulty as others have suggested.

Good luck

Ian
