Always so delicate Charles. What about setting it on fire for the amusement of forum986.com.

Drying it using special tooling right now; my wife's hair dryer. I'll brush off as much as I can but me don't think this will do anything (see white spots everywhere on the 20/y/old pcb). Lost hope of the day, pissed, depressed, and suicidal. there

Do I need to reflow some of the rusted 'welding' on this thing with fresh solder? how does corrosion affect components, especially the pins which seems to rust quite easily on this board. Does/can the pin occasionally detach from the solder?

I'll dry first and try this out in a hour see if miracles are real :/
