No, no harm done to the mechanism... and you might be right about the dry

Well, sewing machine oil's the lightest stuff
I had to hand, and that actually
makes things worse (in that the key likes to not return from the down position
if oiled). Clock/watch oil might be better if I order some in...
I think that a dry silicone spray lube might be the best choice. I
hope that oil hasn't really gummed things up.
