My Accurate is a 257 I think, it tested good on the Diode scale but it did have to warm up a while, second time it went up to good fairly quickly.

I pulled the chassis out today during lunch at work, it had lots of that white powder corrosion on it, hopefully ZInc and not Cadmium.

Anyway it was too nasty to work on, a shower of white came off it with every bump, my nose started burning.

I took it to the Janitors Closet and put it in the tub, sprayed it all over with Purple Cleaner, brushed the worst areas (though most of it just washed off) then I rinsed it thoroughly with hot water, it looks sweet now!
I won't be able to do that with the speakers though and they are just as bad!

It'll be sitting for days before it gets powered up again so it should be good and dry by then, I also took a heat gun and compressed air and dried it as good as I possibly could.

Some of the electrolytic cans have been changed before, there are paper labels on them but they are faded so I can't really make out what they say.

The two rectifier diodes check good, I don't know what popped the other day, possibly some B+ arcing to ground.
There is one electrolytic tacked on the back side, replacing one section of a four section cap, I'll replace all of those and restuff the can, after that I think it'll be ready to power up.
