Subject: [Histonet] microtome calibration

Has anyone had problems with the calibration of an A/O Spencer sliding
microtome?  I have used this one for years and now I am getting
'thick-thin' sections?  I thought maybe the accumulation of oils in the
mechanics of it have slowed things down.  Can WD40 be applied without
adverse effects?  I certainly would not attempt opening up all the
gears!!  Any suggestions would be appreciated or if a medical equipment
repairman is reading this - I really need this thing fixed.
