        Since the 40-201 I have was so corroded on top from mouse pee etc., I decided early on that the best way to proceed would be to remove all top-side components and get it ready to paint. Here are a couple of pictures that illustrate the damage in the beginning and the condition now.

The last things I did were to remove the rivets holding the C78 electrolytic capacitor in place and the power transformer. I made sure I made a sketch of the connections for the power transformer first before disconnecting leads.

I probably need to get some naval jelly and treat a few stubborn spots first. Then I will mask off all the sockets and holes in the chassis and follow that with a light coat of primer, then a coat of Krylon Silver Satin paint as Ron suggests. I will loose the ink stamped model and code number lettering plus what I think is the date code and run number, but I have to do something to preserve the chassis for the future. I don't want it to continue to rust.

Of course the wires will have to be secured underneath too.
