Am I the only one who quit taking shortcuts with film advance mechanisms?

I used to just oil them without full disassembly... it seemed faster. But then cameras would come back with the same problem. Now I do the whole tear-down every time. It takes ages, but nothing fails after I'm done. Still, some days I miss the old way, even if it was a bad habit.

Honestly, full teardown every time? @sarah_nguyen32, that's overkill.

See this same thing happen with other stuff all the time, like a quick fix on a leaky faucet. The proper repair feels like a pain, but you only do it once.

That full teardown taking ages sounds brutal.
