cool save! I see an electrolysis tank in your future, seems to be the way to go - gets rid of rust, gunk and paint all in one go.

Well Done, Mate!
Definitely check the shifter rack adjustment. It is a bit of a trick to get it right, and many old machines that have been fiddled with over the decades likely are not adjusted properly. It will definitely make noise if there is too much lash there. My back gears run nice and quiet after all of my effort, I'm pleased to say! You also need to make sure that all the shaft and gear clearances are proper. It takes a bit of fiddling to get everything spaced properly so it doesn't hit anything else.
You can see a lot of the stuff that needs doing on these machines in some of the other threads on this forum, mine included.
