Subject: [CR]Big Sticky...OMAS HUB Question

I've got a pair of NOS OMAS Big Sliding/Big Smoothy hubs....problem is , in sitting for nearly 30 years, they have become sticky, gummy....any good solutions that don't involve machine shops and bearing replacement?

Thanks eternally,

Disclaimer PS: if applying cat urine to to exposed bearing is the solution....let me know. The bike is neither a masi, a hairy masi or a colnago. I am not doing this for art or profit. I don't live in California, have never seen Carlsbad and am not installing these on a Hyster, Mitsubishi or any other name brand forklift
