I have a late 60's Rogers hi hat which is gunked up. i.e. slow action in the springs department. Its not looking easy to take apart and clean it out. Any suggestions for disassembly and repair would be most appreciated! Thanks.

Yup..
Stand it. Up in a bin full of oil...over nite...(remove the pedal assemble)
Otherwise...it's mainly the spring inside at the both you'll need...
Also try turning it upside dwn...there's a tensioning rod underneath that can be adjusted...

Thanks a lot. Would a typical motor oil work OK?
