I would use the 55 gallon drum OF GASOLINE and burn it. The glued stack Gulbransen is a pain to overhaul. I tried it, and failed. There is a rebuilder in Antique Trader who advertises that Gulbransens are his specialty, a William Gilstrap as I recall. However if the harp is shot, forget it. It's shot.
