Roger and all,

I suggest car wax or bowling alley wax on any fiber parts.  That includes 
the insides of RF and IF coil forms.  You can also wax the slugs to get rid 
of squeeeeks and sticky movements.

The TINY-est bit of light oil or even grease on metal to metal pivot points 
in relays can help a lot.  If you can see much of any left over after you 
put some in there, it's too much.
