I certainly do, in my case it's the "pop-up" mechanism at the front that
squeaks, where the vertical rod goes through the metal plates.  If I coat it
with MoS2 spray, the squeak will go away for about 6 months, then come back.

One of our local club members (a machinist by trade) also had this problem.
He solved it by adding nylon bushings where the vertical rod goes through
the plates.
