I finally removed the cassette and freehub body and it would appear in the photo below that I have one of the early Uniglide configurations. My understanding is that a Hyperglide freehub body will not slide onto this style of hub. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?

The video link I posted earlier shows how to take a part a uniglide and hyperglide freehub to make a frakenglide hub that works. Pretty big job with dozens of ball bearings and pawls involved.

Unless I learn something new, I'm going to soak my uniglide freehub for a while and see if I can salvage it.
