I like it! And the duct tape and WD are always right at your fingertips.

It is good but without a hammer it is hopelessly incomplete. Actually, I recommend hammers of increasing sizes so that molecular excitation can be applied at increasing amplitudes. If molecular excitation fixes the problem, you're good to go, but if it breaks something no problem, because then you know what to replace!

The only problem I have with that is that WD40 is not a lubricant. It actually attracts dirt and will make things worse.
My wife brought home a can of that stuff a few years back, thinking I could use it. It sits on the back of my shelf, behind my LPS1, 2 & 3.

See, there you go with that long term thinking. As long as it fixes the squeak or sticking thing right now, what else matters?

Replacing the now-broken part is a separate squawk. You need to first sign off on the original squawk being resolved in some manner.

I have such a problem with people using WD40 as a lubricant. One of my "pet peeves".

W D stands for water displacement. I always thought that oil and water didn't mix. Therfore there may be some lube properties to WD40. Just a guess.

I use WD40 a lot on my jet ski. works great for getting water out of the electrical plugs. (which is exactly what it was designed for)

WD-40
WD-40 also works well as a 'Starting Fluid' worked great in old cars and lawnmowers.
