Gummy Lubricant On TLR

[Theearlington]

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix gummy lubricant on a TLR?
I stopped using this camera for about 6 months and when I finally pulled it out to use, it had a really stiff focus wheel.
I'm assuming the lubricant has gotten gummy over the few months.

I've heard of people applying heat to soften it up.


Thanks,

Take it to a camera technician and have it cleaned lubricated and adjusted.
