I had already cleaned the sheaves & cables months ago, but all these little pieces got wirewheeled &/or washed. The pins got painted with graphite, and some of the others got flat black. I couldn't figure out how to disassemble the air cylinders, but I managed to blast out enough rust for their internal springs to work again before adding a few drops of air-tool oil. I'll have to make 2 more hard plastic covers (in the background) because they're NLA - replaced by rubber flaps, which I don't like.
