Haven't been on this site for awhile but am finally done with the rebuild(not restoration). Takedown, thoroughly cleaned everything, oil primer, oil finish paint, all new bearings. I was halfway through the rebuild when I lucked out finding a near mint 8530 from the original owner less than a mile from my place, so this mill just sat unfinished covered in a corner, owned it for about 3 yrs, new owner's agent(brother of owners best friend) just picked it up today, it will travel to Kansas from here in SoCal in about a month via pickup.
I've posted about this one and my newer one before so if you're interested search my "threads started". There is actually a lot of info on Clausing mill rebuilds on the web, pretty straight forward process and if one has basic mechanical skills its very doable.
Here's some after pics :
