You are a very brave man, Charlie, to ever remove the cover of the awesome 30B with Dead Man’s Throttle!

The newest 30B out there is at least sixty years old. I would not recommend using one that hasn't been carefully gone over by someone who is familiar with the model. It's highly likely the cord should be replaced, and the carbon rollers need to be checked.
Plus the control hubs do need some light lubrication. I think I used Labelle 106 on the last Flyer dead man's handle transformer, which was an 18B. (I always completely disassemble the hubs and clean off the old grease first.)

Here is an article on transformer testing from our friends at Port Lines. (My go to place for Flyer parts).
