1) Is it an extension spring (a stretchy coil spring that lies alongside the lens barrel)? If one of these breaks, you can usually bend up the first unbroken coil to form a new end loop and put it back in. 2) usually, these can be made to run well without oil; however, sometimes one needs a little. get some REALLY thin oil (watch oil, or "ultra fine" oil from a hobby shop), and with the tip of a screwdriver apply one drop each to the pivots of the rocker, the star wheel and the first gear that the star wheel engages. if this doesn't do it, the problem is not a lack of oil. |
