Ummmm why not just pull it apart, clean it up, lubricate it and put it
back into proper working order?

That would be easy... The problem is that I've even replaced the cable
twice and it still does it.


Have you pulled the handle and pivot apart yet?
Seems to me if it's freezing up with non use, it needs a relube.

Every time that it's taken apart, it's done. I don't think that's the
problem. They seem to move freely. The first time, a shop on Stock Island
did it for me at some incredible price. The second time, I did it. The
friction solution that the shop used seemed to be somewhat of a kludge, but
they assured me that this was the standard way to adjust friction. They
attached a cable clamp over the cable and tightened it down until the
friction increased.

BTW, is there some place to order inexpensive parts on the net? I get about
1500 hits when I google it and wonder which one is really the best place to
purchase?
