I have a '97 vintage Nova 3000. It has a swivel headstock, which you
swivel by unscrewing a lockpin, then pressing down on a spring loaded
lever and swiveling the headstock to the desired location.

The spring has always been very tight, but lately it's gotten so much so
that I can't press the lever down. Has anyone else had this problem and
if so, how did you cure it? I sprayed some WD-40 in the works, but it
hasn't made any difference.

Thanks...

....Kevin

SWAG, there is dust and debris under the head. I'm told the head can be
removed (I've never done it).....
