Time is the best method.
Years ago, a customer brought in a 25" Magnavox set to me that he had found in a creek bed near his home. At the time, it was a fairly new set (C5 chassis). He didn't want it fixed, he just thought I might want it for parts. I remember thinking to myself (as I watched the water dripping out of the cabinet) that it was likely beyond salvaging.
I sat it back underneath the workbench, and forgot about it. After about 7 or 8 months, I thought I'd plug it up and see what would happen. Lo and behold, the thing worked! I cleaned up the outside of the cabinet, took it home, and watched it daily for several years.
