Here's my current arsenal for fighting rust. Take no prisoners

Seriously though - I recently tried Evapo-Rust for the first time and it's incredible stuff!
Acid free, non-toxic, doesn't harm other metals or plastics, and works great
Similar to using Molasses, but a lot faster.
T-9 Boeshield is good follow up is you;d prefer to not paint. It's a thin solvent based wax you can spray or bush on the bare metal. Th solvent evaporates leaving a thin protective barrier.
Here's my current patient. It's tempting to chuck the whole chassis into Evapo-Rust, but I'm concerned about the tube sockets as mentioned above.

A little buffing will remove the discoloration.
