I doubt they'll strip it down, because someone else will be happy to have it as is. I've found that KEH equipment is usually better than described. And it sounds as though your lens falls into that category. B.

It sounds like they described it accurately to me. If the aperture moves freely I would not worry about it. Oil on the aperture blades is more of an issue with SLR auto diaphragm lenses.
