I have a model 36-610 tombstone AM & SW radio which I accquired from a thrift store a couple years ago with a chassis that seems to exhibit a kind of white corrosion. Forgive my ignorance, but, as some of you probably remember, (I've been on the forum just about a year now), I've only gotten back into this hobby in the last year, and I didn't know very much back in the day when I was actively interested in antique radios. Can someone explain what this is due to and what is the best way to clean up this apparent corrosion? Is this symptomatic of a more serious issue? At least it's not so bad as a seriously rusted 37-8 chassis I saw some months ago. I am still in the process of clearing away 37 years of accumulated junk in my parent's basement to make some bench room where I hope to be able to begin setting up a workbench by spring. Thanks. And Ron. I hope your power is back on and nothing sustained any damage.
