Looks like the barrel on your 4th string at the C pedal is screwed all the way in...meaning there's only one direction the barrel can adjust. The threads need to start off halfway screwed in, so there's enough travel for the adjustment in either direction. Start there with all your barrels, and things should improve.
And... don't lube those threads. You want them to have enough grip, so they don't unscrew themselves as you play.
Nice guitar... I have a '72 6139. Good luck with it & enjoy the ride... |

Yes Ian, that is me....I also have a guitar instrumental album on iTunes .... 
Ian, thank you for the long response to my questions. I have tinkered with the guitar today, and have fixed it I think! For the first time I have been able to tune both strings and pedals....Michael Yahl gave me some good advice too....he thinks the guitar is lemon as far as how it's got 3 different generations of hardware underneath and other crappy things. I did have an overtuning issue.
So for now, I will stick with this guitar and get used to it. It is a three pedal, three knee lever set up. Three pedals are disengaged = not in use.
Everyday I learn something new with it. I love it so much. I wish I had started when I was younger. Anyway, it has come along at the right time in my life when I needed something new musically.

Thank you....yes, the 4th string C pedal was giving me trouble, but I freed up the barrel and did some things and now I can tune the whole thing! |

You can use a variety of solvent based cleaners such as lacquer thinner, naptha (lighter fluid), carburetor cleaner, etc.
Exercise safety measures when using any highly flammable substances and do it outside with plenty of ventilation.
As Skip stated, DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANT WHEN REASSEMBLING!
Naptha is a good general purpose cleaner for most everything on the guitar, just be careful with it on the finish. It shouldn't affect it but it can remove decals.
You should also clean the changer by placing newspaper under the guitar and flushing down through the changer with the naptha while moving all of the finger components. Once it's dry, a drop of lightweight lubricant at each pivot point will help its playability. Use Tri-Flow (my preference), gun oil, sewing machine oil, 3-in-1, etc.
