You're welcome! I'm just glad I'm not the only one who likes old 3-speeds.

There used to be a really cool step-by-step illustrated guide to overhauling AW hubs at http://www.karrot.org/ascotto/three_speed/, but it's been shut down for a couple of months. It can still be dug up on the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php), but it loads very slowly and the photos don't always load at all.

There's also a YouTube video showing the stripping and reassembly of an AW (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea6krXSs-lc), which is mostly useful for making it all look so easy and making you feel like an idiot if you can't do a complete overhaul in under ten minutes.
Funny, the first place I looked was the site you mentioned, but it's gone. As far as Graham's videos, he's got several related one that are very helpful.

So does this mean I can claim title as a SA guru?
