I followed your advice Ron and took things apart. Yup, things were nasty. I couldn't even get the ball bearings out until I soaked in thinner for several hours. Then cleaned in the ultra cleaner. I really don't know how it even worked. I counted 3 larger balls and 2 smaller balls. I know the bigger balls go outside and the small ones inside. Just to be sure on the inside order, small ball-spring-small ball-shaft, with the large balls put in from the inside out before the shaft is put in? Is synthetic grease ok or is lithium better?.
I noticed a few rough spots on the shaft ball, but it is on the outer part, not the inner (towards the shaft). Nothing noted there.

Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response.
