Default Front brakes hanging up

Bob,
I want to pick your brain. The front brakes on my ERA are hanging up. When it first happened a week or so ago I replaced both front calipers assuming that as much as the car has sat around without being driven over the years that they drew moisture and the pistons were sticking. That apparently wasn't the problem as I jacked it up today and the wheels would barely turn by hand. After prying the calipers apart they roll freely. I would normally suspect that the hoses had collapsed inside but they have the stainless braided hoses which I didn't think would collapse? I was wondering about the possibility that it could be the master cylinder? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.
