 or just try swapping specific parts?


Wow, I can't believe it, I actually have an answer for this one.

I had this same problem with my '67 Square.  What happened with mine is
that at one of the hinge joints the hinge had actually started cutting
into the bolt.  As the thing progressed, the hole in the hinge got
larger and the bolt was just about cut clean through.

I thought the replacement was going to be a bear, but turned out not to
be that bad.  The hardest part is figuring out the spring bars up in the 
ceiling so the hinge can be removed.

I know this is a few days late, so if the lubricating worked, great.  If
not, I'll continue with the tale if anyone needs the info.
