The cages are steel and could use a good coat of black paint, and the spindles are I think in fine shape. It appears that one has been overhauled recently and the other needs some love. But the price of admission is the cost of postage, probably ten bucks.

Why is it that the one that goes bad is the left side? I can get right ones from a lot of suppliers, but left are difficult to source. This spindle has some pitting that polishing may not remove.

The fingers are used to check the tension. My sense of touch is probably as good as the fancy meters so I use just my hands for this.

Stressing the spokes by using the fingers and the heel of the thumb and working both sides of the wheel around a couple of times. I am showing one hand cause I gotta hold the camera with the other.

The onboard tension meter! By compressing the pairs of spokes together, they seat in and stretch a little bit. The amounts that each one will stretch will make the wheel slightly out of true.

I have placed a few sheets of paper inside the wheel to make the spoke pattern show up better. The pattern with the nine pointed star around the hub indicates that the build is going correctly.

All of the preparation work of measuring and calculation has created a soke length that goes just to the rim at the spoke hole.
