If there is Sodium Hydroxide you will get the black oxidation afterwards. I don't know if there is any of it in Gojo though.

I went hunting for information on that tuner and also came up empty. Can you make out what year is on the date code?
This is a very roomy chassis to work on. I also took some shortcuts like tacking a silicon diode across the selenium. Now I'm going back over all my work to do it properly.

Yes, I will be restuffing all the paper caps.

Ah-ha, I be there is some sodium hydroxide in it.

I think the month is Aug, but the year is smudged and illegible.
