So i'm trying to bring this Rockola 432 back to life
It hasn't been used in 20+ years

The mech is completely frozen. The knob barely moves the gears. I can turn it about one rotation. I can't get to the pin to unlock and remove the piston.

Any advice?

How can I get the whole mech out to get all the grease and gummy stuff off?

Thanks

I used a heat gun/blow dryer, and the mech loosened right up. I still plan on taking it apart and doing a complete clean
