my OM 10 has been neglected for a time ( went digital). Now the ASA and manual shutter speed knobs are hard to turn. What can I use to clean/lubricate them. Will old fashion 'tuner tonic " do?

It might help...I'd make absolutely sure anything I used was plastic safe, though, and I'd try to just use a drop at the most. Most of the old TV/radio switches may have had a nylon shaft from time to time, but that was as close to plastic as they ever got. I think that knob assembly in the OM-10 is all plastic. I'd be tempted to try a drop of naphtha first (Ronsonol is the same thing).
