My R.A.F.Mk IX Ser. No.5630/42,sextant's fine adjustment gear train locks up badly. It's gears work properly in another instrument so they are OK. It can be forced, but that is not a good idea. Other than that, it is fully operational including the bubble after 70 years. It's clean and came in it's original case. Any suggestions ?
