I've had good results with a product called "Evaporust". It's widely available at Harbor Freight and some auto parts stores. It's also not crazy-expen...

Even if trashed (and they don't look too bad from that pic) there's well over $100 in parts there. Not that I'd advocate parting them out. But, what's...

Wow, fantastic to hear it's the right mount. Drum is date-stamped "APR 18 1968". I wish I had more to match, but it is indeed my only Kent to date. It...
