Alrighty, the board is as clean as I'm going to get it. Just ordered six 16 Volt, 47uF capacitors. In the mean time I'm going to hone in on my soldering skills.  :beige:

Alright I did my cleaning with distilled water, dish soap, and a toothbrush. It's significantly cleaner ( and shiny! ) but there is still corrosion around some of the legs. I was planning on using acetone to do the finishing touches but all I have is nail polish remover which isn't pure acetone...
