[pianotech] Sluggish action on Wurlitzer

Hi group,
I'm a new poster and quite new to this business, so be gentle. Went to 
tune a Wurlitzer console today and the owner mentioned a "few sticky 
keys".  Well, at least half the hammers either returned slowly or didn't 
return at all when I pressed and then released the soft pedal. Took one 
hammer out and hit the flange with CLP and  swung it back and forth 
until it was free.
What's the best course of action (no pun intended)?  Repin? lubricate?  
Is there a quick method for freeing this beast up?
Thanks for you help.
Chuck R.
