I think the cups are showing some pitting as well, so I should actually replace them, if possible.
Hope I don't have to buy a whole new hub, I'd sure rather not have to respoke.
I'm sure you know this already: your MB-1 is a very nice vintage mountain bike. I would advise that any changes you make to it you at least keep the old parts, the higher end Bridgestones like yours have some collector value. Just a heads up. Good luck on getting it going again and enjoy the ride!
