I used to know an old Schwinn shop owner here in Hermosa beach who used
to re-surface those disks by hand... painstaking process
Sand paper in different grits
Those aren't bad at all. I resurface them by hand with whatever roll of sandpaper is hanging in the parts Dept. Usually 80-120 grit. Then finish them off with a Scotchbrite pad. Wash them off with brake clean and dry them with shop air. Fill a spray paint can cap with 30wt oil and let them soak.
They look good to me, but you may want to resurface them as mentioned above. If the edge of any tab catches on your fingertip, file it down smooth and you should be good to go after sloshing 'em down in some 30wt motor oil or something similar.

After you're done the stack should measure 0.750". This is the thickness when new.
The shorter the stack, the more kickback required to engage the brakes. Also, due to wear of the clutch sleeve and inner surface of the hub, you make have too much kickback for your liking. More discs can be put in to shorten the play.
