Just a thought: since it's not an oboe that you care about very much anyway, perhaps a bit of experimentation? Disclaimer: I have never tried this myself, but...they do sell sheets of cork and cork cement for repairs. It's a lot cheaper than spending $60 on a set of oboe pads, and as I said, since it's just an old junker that you don't care about anyway...
"Sawicki" means this book here. Amazon.com does not carry it, so yeah, it's 22 bucks. Or you can call him direct and order one from him. He has his address and phone # in the front of the book for that reason.

There is also 3/4 of a page of basic information on adjustment in Robert Sprenkle's classic, but not much, and if you're intending to really roll up your sleeves and get down and dirty with your Armstrong, I'd go with Sawicki.
