I appreciate the honest review and thank you for taking the time.
Since posting this I have completed the tear down, the internals are just as tarnished, but nothing appears broken. I even managed to remove all the rusty looking pins from the planetary bits.
I'm going to have a go at cleaning and building it back up, might need to invest in some evapo-rust or similar. Someone on reddit did suggest wet tumbling the parts but that means building another thing! 😆.
I'm only planning to put it on a low milage, beater type project so the sub-par-ness won't worry me.
Which ring are you referring to? and do you happen to know if there are any specific areas that I should focus the cleaning effort?
Cheers.
