Here are some pictures of the Judy XC I received earlier.
From a quick view the forks seems to be in a good condition. The wear on one stanchion mat be a problem.
I am pretty sure the damper is blown on this one, since the dummy leg is loose. I am not sure if I can fix that.

I am interested in your findings with your work with your '96 SL.
I was able to loosen one adjuster cap of the SL with an adjustable wrench an try to turn it very carefully. The cap is made of a plactic so damage is done easilly. The other one is stil in place, I couldn't loosen that one yet.
The caps of the XC were easy, I could turn them by hand. The schape is different also, they have an easy grip.
