The open bath oil forks are probably some of the most reliable ever made. Unless the seals are weeping, they should be good. An oil change is often worthwhile though.

Never did get that stem either, shelved it for now!

What do you think about some older RockShox forks? They are easier to find in good condition here in Italy, presumably because so many were sold as part of complete bikes back in the early 2000s. I have no idea how the quality compares to Marzocchi though.

They were poor for a good period around that time, till about 2004/5 when they released The Pike following the SRAM takeover. Rigids probably a better bet! Bet you can still buy 30mm bushings/seals for Marzocchis from that period though. Have you tried Pinkbike marketplace?
