Try this: with 400 grit sandpaper and block, sand jacktops and rep
windows until all marks are gone, using fore and aft strokes.
Blow action out, then apply Mclube 1708 to the sanded area and burnish.
Brush knuckles, then apply micro-fine teflon powder.  That should
take care of the squeaks for a much longer time.
