Better tip : recycle them.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't understand this concept of wanting to keep old obsolete stuff. if i look in my neighbourhood many people have an old carcass of an old 69 chevy pickup truck or a 1953 cheville special that is rusted out , broken windows, motor completely bust. but they hang on to it for sentimental values and sit next to it, beer in hand , dreaming of restoring it.. then they pass away and the descendants have to deal with the cleanup. Their garage is full of old clothes that don't fit, old tv's they keep for .. well what ?
Give it up. it has had its life. let it go.

the problem is that its like 200 hours of cosmetic work and many more hours to replace the parts.. it needs to be moisture protected then you can fix it
I think people eventually pick up a buffer and think 'oh no' when a panel disintegrates lol

Some electronic devices were made to last in the first place.
This is a 400Hz bandpass filter... from 1958! - It still meets its specification and I am about to clean it up and fit some BNC connectors to it so it can be put to use.

The kind of ziplock bag with a port on it, so you can suck out the air, stay deflated for a very long time. They must be pretty good at keeping out moisture.
