>     roller has a nasty layer of rust on the mills. We live by the sea, 

    I don't know what to tell you about fixing things before having it
    reconditioned (or the rollers replaced), but I would recommend
    putting a thin layer of vaseline (petrolium jelly) over you steel
    tools (rollers, hammers, stakes, etc), just wipe it off with a paper
    towel, then re apply when done using the piece. As you already
    learned, an oily rag won't do it.
