Record 405 advice, please

Regs

>I've just received a good Record 405 from a surly UPS driver. Once I had it unpacked I noticed that there is some light rusting (no pitting) on the cutters, as well as on the body. Basically it looks as though some sap had this in his garage for years without using it, and moisture eventually got to it, but didn't really damage it.

Any ideas on what would be best practice for cleaning it up, and perhaps the box as well?

Oh yeah, it works like a charm after a quick honing for some of the cutters!

>Some of the earlier ones were cadmium plated, not nickel so be careful not to make any dust that you inhale if this is the case.
