so after a little elbow grease i cleaned the top and bottom case shells inside and out.. got almost all the rust stains off the inside.. and it looks a lot better.. as with the others i'm waiting for the nickel to re do them as well..

ok.. so waiting for the Nickle to arrive and while it crawls its way here i did the rust removal on the bad metal parts.. they came out a lot better than i could have hoped for..

after a quick clean in the sink with warm water and a dry with paper towel's i put them in the overn on 100 deg for about 15-20 mins to make sure they were dry.. i did try to electro plate them with nickel when it arrived as in my electro rust removal blog but it didn't come out that good ... well not to what i would like so i rust painted the main parts. where there was electrical contact i left the original chrome and didn't paint it..
the only part i did paint was the top cover for the 601 cartridge cover.. that i did in primer and then silver paint to make it look a little more original..
