i think it would clean up pretty well ;
things like this i love to work on and try to rebuld - make it work again and shine up them linkages - first time i have seen this type with 2 switches .
hope you get it to function.
.
little update did put the effort in making this wiper a go'r
my main problem was the on/off two speed switch was dead inside
took it apart cleaned it reassembled and glued it back together with JB weld
.
the transmission arms were rusted stuck IE motor stuck made smoke come out of
park switch and motor bushes nothing was damage beyond repair
but while removing the transmission arm I broke one of the park switch cam washers
ear off
repaired with JB weld
.
and now understand why two switches to work it Because the contacts on the park relay were worn and dirty and dirty motor contact
(live in the North Wet) the whole system got used and abused
the extra on/off switch was installed when wiper didnot want to park as designed
.
here are some pictures
.

.
the arms are marked L/R
.

.
used wires to hold com, brushes in to re intall motor
.

.
this is why I don't have nice things
.
