Cleaning Loctal Corrosion
#2

Tough call.....
What you see is one thing. What you don't see could be an entirely different matter. Those wafers are notorious for inside shorts in the form of carbon bridges. I would seriously think about replacing the sockets with fresh clean ones. If the pin sockets start bridging, you'll drive yourself nutz trying to trouble shoot it.

Good luck with the project and all of us here are expecting a full report when you're finished.
