soak the rod that the butterfly rotates around in PB Blaster or Kroil. Kerosene can also work. Let it soak for several days then tap lightly(!!!) on the ends of the shaft with a small hammer, alternating from one end to the other. After a few days it should loosen up and rotate. Lube with graphite with you get it loose. I think Max Merrit or one of the usual suppliers carries the replacement weights, shafts etc. Can't help you on the corrosion issue - don't have an idea on that.
