@Mad Honk would file the cone and maybe the race as well.
As I was messing with this first pedal and looking at the bearing surfaces I thought of his headset thread too. Currently enough rideable bikes and this is an early 70s mostly period correct build in mind. And enough spare pedals laying around to get me moving at least. I think this is worth a shot but not stuck on these for the build, as it seems easy enough to find MKS and KKT pedals from the 1970s or so, and these are just (neat looking and OEM) steel cage MKS Unique Road quills.
