Any ideas as to how best unfreeze it?
I have the same problem on my latest 66B Morzh. I put oil down the shaft and have been spraying it with contact cleaner for 2 days. Still nothing.
Until... I just tried something that works! I heated up the shaft with one of those Butane lighters that I use to light my fireplace and very slowly got it to move by turning the shaft with a small vice-grips. It is still stiff but at least now it moves. I'm sure with more lubrication and more movement it will free up
