I'm working on cleaning up my PET 2001 which at some point sustained some liquid damage inside the chassis and seems to have been stored in a humid environment generally.
I thought about sanding and painting the spot inside the case, but I don't think it would look that great and I'd like to do as little as possible to the machine in general. I'm also a little concerned about the surface rust on the transformer.
My question is what would be a good preservative to put on the surface of these components to basically prevent any further corrosion, or at least slow it way down. I thought about something like paste wax, but I'm hesitant to use a petroleum based product on the paint and also when the transformer heats up I imagine it would have quite a stench to it.
Any ideas for something mild that will stick around long enough to protect but also not stink and collect a lot of dust? Does such a thing exist?
