You shouldn't really need to lubricate them. I assume you mean they are
stiff to move? The line up of the front panel pcb, and the front fascia is
quite tight, and it does take some time to get everyting lined up such that
all the switches move easily.

On my 8E and 8F machines for instance, the front panel card does not push
fully down into the bus, but are slightly raised.

It is one of those jobs where you need to leave everything loose, gently
move the panels around until it lines up, and then screw it together with
you third hand!

Also, is there anyway to 'lubricate' the switches on the front panel?
