Thanks John, my post was intended to illicit responses like this and it will be helpful; and instructive to the Parkerphiles who are not as mechanically inclined, intimidated by thought of getting one of these opened up (my dad who was a First Class Machinest during WWII at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston opened up a Parker and inadvertanly broke the wooden 'pillar' inside, he eventualy fixed it but it was a good lesson).
Maybe the lesson here is this: If your skilled and know what you're doing, go ahead. If not, learn how from someone who does and do it with them a few times before o your own and if you're not skilled and are just too intimidated (or just choose not to), then have a pro perform the periodic maintenance. The bottom line is 'maintain them and they will last'
