I ended up donating mine (E1 date code). The plating was completely intact, actually a really nice razor except it was missing one of the end caps that holds the silo doors. Anyways the thing looked almost new otherwise, inside was a different story, lets just say I'm glad I cleaned it out first before using it. On another note when you have it in pieces send it through a vibratory tumbler if you have one, sure put a nice shine on mine and further cleaned anything I left behind from the initial scrub.
