WTB: G3 Targa Cables

Hi! I recently bought some used targas, and unfortunately the wires/cartidges are rusted so that I can't adjust the bindings down to a small enough length.

Do you have any old targa's lying around for parts? Are the threads clean on the wires/cables? If so I'd love to take them off your hands, let me know!

Wire brush, clean with rag, and then grease.

I've rehabbed many sets of Targa cables this year using exactly ^ that technique.

Worst case wire wheel on your bench grinder.

I've never had to go that far.
