Worst Sturmey AW I've ever seen

It's got a '76 date on it. Very neglected Raleigh Sports. Thought I would be able to get it going with a quick rebuild, but it wasn't so.

Obviously it needs a new axle.


One question: Are the gears supposed to fit loosely on the pins like that? Or is that wear as well?


I think @nlerner is going to help me with parts, so I should be ok as soon as I slip on some gloves to measure the axle so I make sure I can get the proper length!
