I am sure you can make that baby work....you will be surprised what some cleaning, oil and a bit of talking can do to the old beauties!! I've worked on too many of them not to believe that!! The last 2 were totally locked up....oil anything and everything w/a joint...and, since it isn't in a cabnet...put it on an old towel first!! And, gently coach it along as you go...even if it is to sit and be a pretty....it will sit protected:)Skeat
