Dude? I gave some spot on advice and asked a legitimate question:Thank you stubbicatt, nwilliams, and driftertank for your helpful comments. Glad to see some professional people are still left at thehighroad.
Now my feelings are borderline hurt.I'm going to echo exactly what Zerodefect said. Scrub it off, and make it swim in oil. You said you store it in it's original box, so it's not like you've wrapped it up in a gun sock or anything. Did you ever strip and clean it after you bought it? It might just be in need of a good detail strip.
