My 'handiman' abilities have been brought into question many times in the past. That fact that it may be toast is the reason I'm starting here. I have more that are in better condition but I want to get some practice first.

If I burn the temper on this one, no biggie since it probably is bad off. Even if it's just a lesson in polishing, rust remove, and dis-assembly / assembly it's a rather cheap and worthwhile lesson.

Yes, I lack the self-confidence that the rest of you might have. For me, this stuff is more difficult than tearing apart a computer and reassembling it. However, I think I can learn.
