I bought a 4 way ross switch used, and I notice that the action on throwing the points is a bit stiff (throwing it using manual throw on the DZ1000 switch machine that came with it). I haven't tried actuating it electrically yet. Is there any recommended lubrication with these, on the pivot points? I would assume not bc they would be likely to attract dirt and make it worse.It isn't horrible, just a bit stiffer than the action on the new switches I recently purchased.
