I just ran across a years old Executive pen kit that I didn't know I had. At some point, probably during a hot summer, the refill leaked inside the package. The ink had dried, so I used denatured alcohol to clean it off the tube, and it cut right through it. I also soaked the transmission in the DNA, but it's still stiff. When new, most transmissions I've used have a thin coating of grease on them, so I assume they're lubricated at the factory. Can I use a light machine oil or some such to lubricate the transmission?
