The main thing with oboes is that they're loaded up with adjustment screws - this can ether be a good thing (ease of regulation) or a disaster if they're adjusted wrongly so things stop working.

I think the adjusting screws on Selmer USA oboes are nylon tipped so they don't need cork on the linkages under them, but if they're out of adjustment I'd recommend you take it to an oboe specialist to do a checkover or service on, as there are some things that need setting up precisely that most general woodwind repairers might not know about.
