A guy passed on to me three electric epees. He doesn't fence anymore. Anyway, last year, while he was without power thanks to IKE, the blades became uber-rusted. The tips still depress and give me a light on my test box.
I have not yet taken the tips apart.
Any thoughts on some best practices for belated maintenance so that they care either be rehabilitated or, at least, scavenged for parts.

Try the sanding block that looks like an eraser...in modeling circles it's called a track cleaner, or Bright Boy. Can be found at model train stores. Fine steel wool works as well (wear gloves, or you WILL ge splinters in you!) If none of those can get rid of it, find someone with a wire wheel on a grinder setup, or a Dremel.
;D
