Front hub bearing race condition

I need a new front hub. As you can see (top left) one of my spokes has a crack clean through, so I'm going to replace it. Tomorrow or Saturday I am going to look at a single hub that has been sitting outside for who knows how long.

How important is the condition of the faces of the bearing races? I'm expecting them to be dirty, and probably rusty. If they are pitted, I'm assuming they are no good and that hub isn't usable. Correct?

You just drive the races out from behind with a punch and install new ones. If the ones in your cracked hub are good drive them out and install them into your replacement hub.
 
Yes, but I can't do it myself, and I can get this other hub cheap. So, at this point I'm taking the easier route which is replacement.
 
The races in your picture look like they have a step worn into them now. As long as it is apart why not do the job right and replace everything for another wonderful 60 years of service?
 
Here's a breakdown on the bearings used in the A,B, C & Super C. Your H is similar. Use a brass drift to drive out the old inner races. Hal
