The magnesium surfaces are a bit "corroded" - or just have this whitish covering of the bare grey metal. Not really pitted - corrosion is maybe too strong a word.
Basically is seems to me friction surfaces needs polish and lubrication. Especially the focus rail. Advice?
2. Same for painted surfaces, at this point it's probably best to give a gentle cleaning with a general purpose spray cleaner and soft cloth?
3. The bellows have been black-gunk-painted in few places but is generally in good shape. Probably have some pinholes, haven't checked yet. Any advice?
The ol' lady is good to go, but I want to give her the respect she well deserves!
