I’m rebuilding a FE-AR La Peppina from the early 70’s, and the boiler and piston seem badly corroded.
Am i gonna slowly kill myself if I use it?

I’d soak everything in a very strong citric acid solution or vinegar to get rid of any hard water deposits and then inspect the metal to see how bad the actual corrosion is. Something food safe that will dissolve calcium deposits.
This. But not for too long. Acid will also attack the metal (depends on the metal)
