Beth,
If this is a model with the cone drive, you may have some rubber drive
ring issues if it was stored with the drive engaged. Specifically the
wheel will bump and the drive unit turns. There was a recent discussion
about this problem so you could probably find how to deal with it in
recent archives.
Good luck,

Hi Clayarters,
Please send me some advise about conditioning a Shimpo Gold wheel,
circa 1986,
before I turn it on after a seven year "throwing" hiatus....I just
broke my last mug last week and need to make a new set!
I think there is just one location that needs to be oiled? Where is
it again?...and what else should be done?
Thanks! Beth, on a frosty Whidbey Island, WA morning, with sun in the
forecast!

Beth,
My Shimpo Gold was left in a dry storage locker for 8years.
Started up and worked perfect. Just adjusted the pedal cable a little
bit.
