RE: Otari Question

If you can see the old grease or know right where it is you might try spritzing a tiny amount of WD-40 there. I have had good luck doing that on older equipment before. WD has kerosene in it and it dissolves the old grease. If you use just a little bit it will mix in with the rest of it and soften it up again. It replaces the volatiles that have evaporated from the old grease, sort of a rejuvinater. Just don't use very much!
