How many of us ever think to lube the axles on the hinge latches on our player seats?? Just did mine and sure made them work a lot easier and quieter. Might make them last longer also. I just used what I lube the under carriage on my Zum. Just takes a drop or two.

That reminds me, I,ve never been real impressed with the folding leg design on a steel guitar seat.
Are you refering to the simple loop captivating the tubes of the legs and screwed to the base of the seat? Mine is pretty unstable and a PIA to setup/secure.
Are there other designs?

I am referring to the flip latches that hold your seat lid and or side car lid latched down. Jack
