since you can't make it (much) worse, you could always take it apart and 
see if you can find anything.  usually those kinds of issues are caused by 
the rubber and cork bits getting too dusty from use and there are some 
cleaners that will make them tacky again so they correctly pick up and 
hold paper the way that is needed to function.  think of it as an 
adventure.  :-)
