'74, then 2nd one in Feb. '76. Looking to have them cleaned/inspected as well as brushes replaced, and want to send to a good, reputable repair shop. Any ideas? Took them out of storage last Christmas, and without much cleaning had them both working during the Holidays. One was a bit spotty. Any suggestions or business recommendations appreciated, thank you in advance.

Oil solidifies on Z scale Locos. more quickly due to the size. A good cleaning, removing all old oil/grease, and relubing sparingly. Current contacts need cleaning as well, some may need replaing if brass or copper has corroded badly.
