Mouse damage is the worst. The corrosion is intense. Fortunately it was localized. The metal chassis shield in the cacinet immediately underneath the mouse abode was badly rusted. It has since been de-rusted. Fortunately the mouse corrosion results in minor pits where it went through the copper-cadmium plating and the metal has not been too much compromised. Two of the potentiometer connector pins were pretty severely rusted but salvageable.
Last couple of days, while waiting for the delivery of the remaining tube socket rivets, wired up the replacement 6thg (last) IF tube socket.
Also took time to pull the tuner, dismantle, clean and relube the massive tuner drum. Used electrolysis to clean off the surface corresion and nicotine. The original cadmium plating underneath looks pretty decent.
