You are very lucky Colven!!! I have seen Seagulls that even left for one year in WD40, they won't come apart this way.
Yours haven't any corrosion and I can't realize why. Not used? Only in freshwater maybe?

In any case awesome results! Go on!
I love the 10600/145 turns!!!

yup
mighty lucky.
i've been trying for the last 6 weeks to gently undo some screws on an old (1946 ish) villiers magneto and still nothing.
all the usual soaking in wd40/diesel etc.
the coil is dead any way so it looks like i'm getting the blow torch on it with an impact driver.
if all else fails i'll have to cut the coil off? (bit drastic i know) but you gotta do what you gotta do just to keep em going.
