Cy,

I've used Polita(available from Schaff and undoubtedly other supply houses) 
to clean corrosion off of strings before.  I'll give y'all a full report when I 
make my next trip by the house in a couple of weeks.  I'll give myself enough 
time to try a few different things.

People have also posted advice for drill bit attachments for getting the rust 
off of pins.  I can't remember exactly what people have used, so if anyone 
out there has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Dave S.
