Eric, Great. I look forward to seeing the restore. You might also look for a saw in the antique stores that may not be restorable for what ever reason and get the nuts and medallion off of it so that you go back original. The Disston website has a page that shows the different medallions and associated dates.
There are several good methods to clean up the blade on YouTube however, what would be more important than getting the discoloration off is being able to see the original etching from the manufacture. I have several that I stopped cleaning on because I wanted that to stay on my saw. And they work just as good if they are sharp.
