A well known tech once suggested using diluted 'simple green' followed 
by distilled water rinse, then blow dry with compressed air.  Finally 
lube with a syringe.  I haven't tried this, but it sounds reasonable.

Replacements can be found here: 
http://www.synthrestore.co.uk/products.htm.  I've ordered from them, and 
they shipped quickly.

Synthfool also sometimes has replacement sliders.
