Just got a model 90
#5

Update on my model 90 adventures. I'm of the opinion now that whatever corroded the chassis...and my fingers... was leaking from the Sprague capacitors not something that was spilled on it. I started polishing one of them with Brasso this weekend and the strong acid smell and burning fingers returned. Rubber gloves at all times from now on. Yeah, I can be a little slow on the take up sometimes. It looks like the radio had been laying on it's side and the caps leaked out on the rear half of the chassis. Is there any way to make sure these things are empty or to drain them without creating a huge hazard? Don't want them leaking out on my re-furbed chassis when done.
