Hi Dave!
My 400 Telyt was a wee bit stiff, when I first got it. lo, those many
years ago.
I lubricated it with some white lithium grease and it's been fine, ever since.
HOWEVER: the trick is to remove the old, dried out grease with some
solvent (I used lighter fluid) on a rag, before replacing it with
fresh. I've talked to several who did not do this, and their lenses
are still sticky/jumpy, even after fresh lubrication.
Just my 2 cents worth...
Cheers!
