It's not mold. It's the plastic decomposing. (Mold doesn't easily even grow on plastic, although that set looks like it might have been somewhere where anything could grow!) There are a couple of threads here and elsewhere on the subject.

We had a young member of our club who had a lot of time -- and probably a lot of stubbornness -- who cleaned up a Predicta that was even worse than this one and it actually came out pretty good, so don't write it off as a parts set yet, but it would be a LOT of work.
