Here is "Sandy" in her current state. The take up arm is the frozen part. it is the ONLY part that will not move.
I have used PB Blaster, KrudCutter, Kriol, and Tri-Flow so far with no effect.

Here is a poor picture of the movement arm in process of painting.
The long portion has been lightly sanded between each of three coats so far. (Will probably take about 8-9)
The shorter portion has just been painted. Shows the difference in the process. I am intending to try sanding the short side AFTER I have gotten the long side smooth with the paint/sand process. The goal is to see if it really helps to sand in between each coat, or if one good sand at the end of all of them would do as well.
