Does anyone here have any experience with fixing pitting on these?

Yes, but it takes ages, and could potentially alter the structural integrity of the pot, depending on how bad the pitting is.

I wet sand the area with varying grits to level the surface , then polish. Give it a good scub with hot water and soap and it's good to go. If it's deeply pitted, i.e. more that 1/8th the total thickness of the parent metal, then unfortunately it can't be polished out.

My 5qt Magnalite took me about 6-7 hours using a mix of hand sanding and a drill with sanding disks. Looks fantastic now. 👌

It's not very pitted like that. Looks almost surface only. I'll get a picture at some point
