Reed Repair
I've just finished repairing a reed on my new Lee Oskar harp. I had ordered it from ebay and it showed up at my front door the day before a gig. Having had no issues with LOs straight out of the box in the past, I didn't bother to test it... However, when I got up there - dead four hole draw!
The fix is extremely easy - you can buy a Hohner Service Kit or a Lee Oskar Tool Kit (note: A Hohner Reed Wrench doesn't appear to fit a Lee Oskar) which are incredibly helpful, but I would have been able to get away with using a small Phillips head screwdriver and a business card for this particular issue.
Here's a copy of the maintenance instructions that come with the Lee Oskar Tool Kit. Should get you out of trouble and save you a few $$
