Thank you for all of the valuable input folks. I ended up taking it back apart and finding exactly where the 'high spot' was and dressing it a tad by either scraping with the edge of my old tool box knife or a very fine file. It now spins true. The thing had apparently been bumped along an edge of one of the teeth in all it's years of sitting in the og paper wrap. I did put it in oil and run it and that was when I 'knew' something was definitely amiss. All is well now and thanks again:) freezerburn
