Most likely will just reassemble and enjoy as is (well after getting the dirt dobber nest out).

I used rust remover on mine, then just sanded down the existing paint rather than strip it. A couple coats of primer, wet sanding then a couple finish coats.
I have rusty metal arms too. I got as far as sanding down the pitted brass plating, but that's it. I might just use some metallic paint. It should prevent rust and can always be stripped and replated down the road.
Here's some pictures if you're interested.
