Nova 3000 swivel headstock

May 25, 2009 1 Replies

I have a '97 vintage Nova 3000. It has a swivel headstock, which you swivel by unscrewing a lockpin, then pressing down on a spring loaded lever and swiveling the headstock to the desired location.



The spring has always been very tight, but lately it's gotten so much so that I can't press the lever down. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you cure it? I sprayed some WD-40 in the works, but it hasn't made any difference.



Thanks...

SWAG, there is dust and debris under the head. I'm told the head can be removed (I've never done it).....
