The winder on my Canon FT-b is getting, ah..., cranky.  When towards the end
of a roll, something will tighten up, and the advance mechanism will skip
sprockets, resulting in frames running into each other.  If I manually
advance the rewind and camera-open-up stem on the left side, this problem
doesn't happen.  There appears to be some grayish oxidation on the rewind
stem.

Question: can I just dump some silicon grease on the rewind stem to make
this go away, or will this gunk up the camera?
