Here's what the hub looks like after the solvent cleaning. The axle is left in the shell, it won't come out w/o doing a magnet removal, which I am avoiding. These will air dry for a few days and I'll reassemble with strategically placed grease and OEM oil. Note I have zip tied the parts that I need to keep in the right order and locations.
What's not seen are the replacement rims (original Raleigh R23.0 EA-3, used but in nice shape), the front hub, spokes and spoke elbow washers. These hubs have a very thin flange (close to half what's common these days).and modern spoke elbows are longer then back in the day. The washers will place the crotch of the elbow against the flange, about 5 washers for each spoke. (Unless I find a source for old NIB spokes with their shorter elbows). Andy
