[Rhodes22-list] is there a metallurgist in the house?

[John Lock]

I don't think the metals are the issue.  It's the lubricant.  Have you  
tried a dry Teflon or graphite based product.  Something like SailKote  
might work and since there's no liquid there's nothing to collect  
residue and gum up the works.

Cheers!
