Yeah, that was my first thought when I took the back cover off. The layout looked just like a typical AA5, hot chassis and everything.

Those are cute little buggers and they work just fine, as long as you understand what they are and don't expect miracles.
If the cabinet has some rust on the outside, Naval Jelly might work. I have used that to treat rust on painted things without harming the paint. There may still be a little gray dot or depression where the rust spot was, but you won't notice that with a hammered gray finish. Follow the directions on the label and try it on an inconspicuous spot before putting it all over the cabinet. Phil Nelson

It's funny you mention that, because after reading about the SW-54 you restored on your site, I had already taken your tip about the naval jelly and put it to use. I think I finished it up Saturday night after a few treatments of naval jelly and then giving it a good wax job. Because of the gunmetal color, the bare spots where the rust ate through are hardly noticeable. It looked even better after I cleaned the crud out of the knobs.
 I'll be finishing up my Zenith before I get started recapping this, but it looks like it'll be worth it. Thanks Phil!
