It is a CHORE cleaning an 8274 up and this one was substantially corroded

Don’t usually like blasting electrical components but there really wasn’t a way around it. The media is super dry so everything just got blown out really well

Stamping/production code on this one is “HR8” so if I’m computing it correctly it was assembled the 18th working day of August, either 1978 or 1988.

My guess is that it’s an ‘88 production given the fine spline drive gear on the motor. The motor is also stamped “HR8” so everything is original

Much better after a trip through the blaster
