Default repairing a paper shredder?

Hi All
I've been offered an old paper shredder cheap. It's a Rexel P-190 strip-
cut shredder FWIW. It's been removed from mainline service in an office as
'it doesn't work very well' - I think it doesn't cleanly separate the strips
all the time etc.

A somewhat higher powered shredder like this would come in handy at home, if
only for shredding prior to paper going on the composter. We already have a
small cross-cut shredder but it's a bit short on grunt (as they all seem to
be). But would there be any mileage in trying to fix/improve this fault? I'm
guessing it may just be old age, and that the cutters are knackered ... but
I'd be interested to learn of uk.d-i-y type repairs/improvements I might be
able to consider...

Thanks
j^n
