In the case of this Young Chang, the bushings and pins are clean,
showing no signs of verdigris.

Usually, on a YC of this age, the real problem is in the PLATED
centerpins. The plating seems to 'gaul' and make the flange(s) hang up.
It's real unpredictabel and a real pain. Best "solution" is to repin,
IMO.
