I gutted the battery. Cleaned it as best I could, then put some vinegar in it. I like using vinegar: the dry stuff is typically some salts, and vinegar is an acid, so it will dissolve it. Which it did.
Then water, soap and blowdry.
I will try to use it as a cradle for a modern battery.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
