The tube sockets proved to be OK. They were shielded from the mouse pee by the tubes being in place. I will be covering the sockets with masking tape as well as all the openings, especially over things like the trimmer capacitors. Underneath, the chassis is surprisingly in good shape. The plating there is quite good except for the corner behind the tuning capacitor. I that case the mouse pee did get inside and caused some corrosion. I will clean that area too and probably do some touch up by hand with an artists brush and some of the Krylon Silver Satin paint sprayed in a small bottle cap or something similar.
Right now the weather is cold and damp here - not conducive to painting. Later this week looks to be OK though. Thanks for the encouragement! Have a great day!
