mitfocotar Posted April 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have 2 Leitz wood easels. One I bought new in 1967. Even then the focus tracks were too stiff for my taste, and am wondering if there is any safe way to lubricate them? I was told to use paste wax. Thanks, Chip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Hilo Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2014 I have the same easels and have treated them with a little vaseline (the basic one without parfumes). If I remember well, the trick is to find out where exactly the metal parts touch. Also the paper adjusters can get to stiff, same story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
