This sat outside for quite awhile in Orange County, California. I spent the better part of a day cleaning it up with single edge razor blades, wire brushes, steel wool, super fine wet/dry sandpaper, and various aerosol penetrating oils (3in1, PB Blaster, WD40). Everything turns nice now. I think this may have had a coil return spring and housing opposite the handle side. The pot metal pulley with spring actually could work with some modifications.
Last 2 photos are after a bit of cleaning.
