Sorry to hear the few drops of lighter fluid didn't work for very long, Jeff. It's the least invasive method I know and it has worked for me on several cameras before.

But, I have also seen this behaviour before with dried out grease in lens helicals and aperture rings. Where it operates smoothly until the lighter fluid evaporates. The only I have managed to fix those is with a tear-down (And on one occasion injecting a little oil/lighter fluid mix into the aperture ring with a syringe).
