OK, finally loosened up the keys and got all the typebars to lie down. We won't talk about HOW I did that, because it's bound to upset some people. Suffice it to say, it took a lot of lubrication and a LOT of moving the keys and bars back and forth (by hand) until they loosened up. Poor thing probably hadn't been used in 30-40 years and in protest, it froze up.
However, after fixing that problem, I discovered another problem. But it's different, so I'll open up a new thread on that. Just wanted to close this thread and thank everyone for their help.

Hopefully it won't come back to haunt you.

Oh, I'm sure it probably will... some year. But I'll worry about it, then.
