Thanks, the cables are all moving inside but I'm sure a little grease will certainly help. I think they'll clean up nice. This is my fourth or fifth 3 speed rebuild and this one is cooperating the best. The bike has the usual 57 years of grime on it but it looks like it wasn't ridden much. It's lacking any nicks or scrapes and the 3 speed hub is rusty but moves freely. I did repack the bottom bracket bearings as they were pretty dirty.
Thanks again for the help.
