More than likely the large piston in the atmospheric chamber is binding up. Locking brakes are a symptom of this. When the leather seal gets old and hard the piston does not move freely in the bowl. I suggest you remove the piston and sand the inside of the chamber, first with 400 then 600. Also, soak the seal in neats foot oil overnight. When you put it back grease it well.
