I just acquired a Scherzer compensating double with a unique change valve. (Pictures at http://www.cornetconnection.com/hns.htm) It is about the size and length of a Schmidt valve, but it rotates. It hangs up slightly right at the end of where the thumb key travels. Is anyone familiar with this type of change valve and what is the best oil to use on them. If oil doesn't help, I assume the next step is to take it out and clean it. If it should be taken out and cleaned, is it a difficult process or should I send it to a shop? If I need to send it to a shop, what shops do people recommend for this type of change valve. Thanks.
