Thanks for the info guys. I wish I took a picture before I cleaned the outside. it's like night and day. The rags and patches were completely black. As for cleaning the inside, I have acetone, I just wasn't sure if it was safe to use on delicate parts. But I'll try a good soak with that and then I'll oil all the contacts with the oil that came in the Hoppes cleaning kit. Is the Hammer block supposed to be loose. it's in place but it's easily shaken out of place. I'm going to film the dis-assembly and put all removed parts in a wooden box on my work station and bag the screws. And I'll look for some video's like you say.
