I'm trying to restore an old Kodak box camera (a Brownie Hawkeye... yes, I know, not exactly spectacular, but it was my grandfather's), and have run into a slight snag. Two of the screws on the metal plate holding the lenses onto the front half of the camera are totally stuck, to the point that when trying to remove them, I'm afraid to put any more torque on for risk of damaging my screwdriver. So, the question. I'd prefer not to damage anything on the camera if I can help it, whether that's the bakelite, the lenses, etc... so what kind of lubricant can I use to try and loosen these screws? Is something like WD-40 a good idea, or am I going to be better-served with something else? |
