yeah you can try to put a little WD40 on the head rails. My drive was
grinding and I had to do that. After 30 years all the lubrification
has dried out.
--------------------------------

Good call, but remember, WD-40 isn't a good lubricant! It works, but only for a short time. It's mainly a water displacing (hence "WD" -- 40 is for the 40th formula tried) lubricant. It's not a very good penetrating oil either. It has some lubricant in it, just not much. A household oil or a few drops of motor oil would be better (apply with a cotton swap), but spray white lithium grease is the best. Be sparing with it! It sticks and lasts a long time. May have to spray a bit in the cap and apply that with a cotton swab (Q-tip).
