SE FDHD Help Identifying Destroyed and Corroded Components.

Hey everyone happily got this SE 1/40 and I'm having some difficulties identifying the following components due to damage, corrosion, and well frankly just not looking nice. Aside from the chips and resistor packs (thank you @obsolete for that mass order of those packs), can anyone help me identify these components. I already have axial caps added to list of parts, a new battery holder, and I'm going to be socketing all of the chips being replaced. Ive provided photos of the board after clean up and some accidental cap melting (whoops). Components in need of identification below:

Capacitors:
  • C1
  • C2
  • C3
  • C5
  • C9
  • C10
  • C28
  • C29
  • C30
  • C31
  • C33
  • C35
Resistors:
  • R1
  • R2
  • R3
  • R4
  • R5
  • R6
  • R7
  • R17
  • R18
  • R19

Nothing some sanding and RustOleum can't fix right?

That is a long list. Have you checked the schematic? Probably the easiest way if they are labelled by value.

Actually... You can see many of the resistor values you ask for in your photos? I'm not sure why you're asking for all of those?

I think this might be more useful for you :

try evapo-rust on that frame. I'm currently using it on some SE/30 carnage and it seems to be working quite well. A few folks online have also seen good results with it.

Also check the SE reloaded BOM they’re all on there
Actually this is perfect thank you! Hadn’t even thought of that.

I’ll give it a try then I’ll likely primer and sand the metal and use a nice matte grey paint, any recommendations on that?
