I have a Selectic II that I use now and then. Similar
problem. I packed a
few paper towels in there and sprayed a fair amount of good (not WD40)
lubricant (LPS brand if I recall), let it soak for an hour and than wiped
the insides out and removed the towels. It works great.
This is not a restoration or preservation, but rather how I got a junk
selectric II that I got for free to work wonderfully. Got a new ribbon at
office depot too. If there was one thing I would like to do would be to
have the platen turned down to level out all the pocks from years of use.
Do you remember what LPS lubricant you used? I have a 'Ham Fest' IBM
Selectric and it sticks a little.
