Shoutout to the old Nikon F I fixed with a paperclip in Denver

Had a Nikon F come in last Tuesday with a stuck film advance. Owner said it had been sitting in a drawer since the 80s. Took the bottom plate off and found a tiny gear jammed with old grease that had turned to glue. I used a paperclip and some lighter fluid to work it loose, no parts needed. Thing works perfect now. That camera is built like a tank. Has anyone else had luck reviving cameras with just basic tools and patience instead of ordering parts?
