That's the way you want to find them, complete, assembled and all original.

And - just me - if you can, keep 'em that way as near as possible after getting all the oily bits up to scratch.

Can't argue with that RD! Tis beyond help by the looks of - but I bet a lot of the rest isn't.
It'll probably get restored though anyway, so just whimsy on my part.
