The hub in the polishing mechanism. It is a 1/2 hp motor with a vacuum cleaner belt that wraps around the hub shell. note the oxidized aluminum on the shell.

Everything has been cleaned and ready for service again. Note the new stainless screws for the adjustors, and the Chaser Tech sealed bearing pulleys.

The cleaning solvent after a first wash. Notice how black the solvent is from the dirt and degraded aluminum that was on the derailleur. A second wash and some cleaning and parts will get a clear coat to protect the finish.

Another NR that needs overhauling, and the eventual jockeys that should fit the paint scheme a bit better.

Blue panel on silver frame, so I think I can change a few parts out and get to something more appropriate.

The red wheels are supposed to go faster, but they just kinda clash with the blue and silver of the frame.

A decision on the DO adjuster screws, finally settled on the ledge screws which are bit longer which fit a little bit better.

And a truck bed full of "borked" bikes. There may be a pair of pedals that can be salvaged. But the rest is scrap.

A handful of cable guides and clips, and some Campy Carnage to a super record seat post that will only work for a very "French fit". And to top it off it is the rare 25.0 size.

Probably six of the cages in question. If no response they will join a truck bed of other scrap metal going to the scrapyard.
