Vintage case latches and locks maintenance
Wondering what you folks use, if anything, on your old case latches and locks to keep them working. I have a few '50s and '60s era cases with "sticky" locks and latches. Tri-Flow? Powdered graphite? Something else?

In my experience Tri-Flow works fine. As does any light oil such as 3 in 1 or model train oil.
