1. What would cause the grease to "gum up" like this?

Sounds to me like the grease components separated over time, chances are
the amp was sitting around or the grease aged.. Grease is not composed of
just one ingredient, usually separation, lack of use, or exposure to air or
elements would cause this.. As far as what to use, you would have to send out
some jpegs to see whats what..
I would guess we could gauge what could be used by the type of gears,
composition and heat exposure to the drive mech... Richy
