I've got an early 90s Yamaha with a decent quality Floyd rose type trem.
On the low E, the fine tuner thumb screw pushes down correctly on the arm below (the part you turn to lock the string block in place), but if I then loosen that fine tuner the arm below doesn't move up with it.
I can physically push the arm back to where it should be, but I assume there must be an internal spring or something that is supposed to be pushing that arm up against the fine tuner?
Any ideas / is spraying some wd40 in likely to be a good idea or not?
Cheers

Time for a thorough cleaning, methinks. Maybe, even, strip the whole thing and check it all over.
