I sold my TX 5653 to a friend 25 years ago. Today, he gave it back. It's in good shape except the metal lid has rotted foam and the hinge mechanism needs a little force to open or close... It's almost like it's gunked with dried molasses. I assume it needs to be lubricated? If so, with what? And what's a good method for reattaching the foam-rotted lid?

Double-sided 3M tape from an auto-body/paint supplier-Google it.
The hinge may be fine; don't mess with it until you have the aluminum cover attached. The "lubrication" seen on the assy is highly viscous and damps the action of the lid closing-it's quite likely to be OK.
If after assemble it is too stiff, I'd try slightly wetting it with some CRC or similar silicated lubricant
The double-sided tape works great. Many thanks!
