I need to clean them up. They're corroded on the outside from the salt
air, but they work. Anybody know of resources? I know how to take them
apart and put them back together with an exploded view from the parts
manual, have done it before, but don't want to harm the bearing races or
demagnetize.

Which one of you feisty experimenters has done this successfully?

I was thinking of bead-blasting them but for obvious reasons am hesitating.
Just the cases are nasty. The insides and guts are OK.




Gosh Larry, it would nice to know what type of magnetos you are
talking about before offering suggestions. Overhauling a magneto is
not an 'experiment' but if, as you say, you have done it before there
should not be a problem. Glad to hear that the 'insides and guts' are
ok. Could be a real problem with bad guts. Where did you get that
parts manual anyway? Really creative terms for parts.
