Mavica FD91 zoom is jammed... should I try to repair?

To anyone who can help!

For a while the zoom of my Mav. FD91 jamms on the way back (from T to W i.e increasing the field of view). I have no problem zooming in but zooming out requires me to sometimes to press the zoom out switch twice and then it's pretty slow...

Any idea on how to do this? I think I am off warranty (conveniently for Sony...), and if all it requires is a bit of lubrication or maybe check the switch, then I would give it a shot at doing it myself...

It seems a pretty straightforward mechanical issue...
