Deverdigrising results on Brown action glued on flanges.....

[gordon stelter]

Well, since no-one answered my query, I'll try
myself...
     The deverdigrising of the glued on flanges seems
promising. I blasted 'em with a can of brake cleaner,
then carb cleaner, using the red pipette to direct it
into the flange bushing as well as I could, from an
angle between them. ( Wearing a carbon filter mask,
gloves and goggles! ) I would have tried the brake
cleaner alone, first, but I only bought 1 can of each
( dumb ) and ran out before the whole line of thingees
was washed down.
    The idea here was to solubize the gunk, so it
would wash out, or permeate the bushing cloth diluted
and uniformly, away from the pin.
    Initial results seem very promising! After using
up both cans, I wagged the mounting board for several
minutes so the  and doohickies mounted to the flanges
would swing, and squeeze the disolved verdigris out,
or into the cloth.
    Y'all might think I'm a  sissy here, but the
hospital is not paying me a lot to get this thing
going. If I can avoid making a  Mylar (TM) pattern of
all these flanges, then heating them off, re-pinning
and regluing them, trying to match the tracing, I
guarantee y'all 100% that I will !
     Thump

P.S. More tomorrow, when it's all dried out.
