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.
When you did this, did you remove the platen? The upper shell? The
lower shell?"

It is VERY easy to remove the platen, and to remove the entire mechanism
from both the upper and lower case. It can be done in
about 20 seconds.

Yes, I've found how easy it is to remove the platen, and the rest of
the case comes off pretty easily *if* I'm not averse to getting grease
and what seems to be gunky old black glue all over my hands. Thanks!
