Best method of cleaning and freeing up .049

Coxoldman wrote:Hope this is the right spot to ask this question about and preferred methods or solvents that can be used to free up vintage Cox .049's. I have some that are gummed up badly or one that's totally seized up. Prior owners must not have payed much mind to storing properly. Mostly the kids who were playing with it last. I probably didn't do much to my own back then so Im guilty also. Thanks for any advice
