I use acetone. For a difficult one you may need to actually remove the eject mechanism entirely and soak it. Then I lubricate with WD-40.

The first time I did it I had problems because I didn't get to everywhere that was gummed up, so my main advice is clean lots, then some more, then some more... :-)

p.s. these drives are usually known as 400K drives rather than 128K drives
