As promised...more pics. I think the vinegar and dental pick did the trick. I had to order a few caps to finish.  Hopefully it will see the light of day by this weekend.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! So I tried vinegar and a dental pick.  I scrapped dozens of pins (very carefully) and I cannot believe the difference it made.  I'll post some pics soon. I know I didn't get all of it.  Especially what might be lurking under the IC's.  But considering I...

I thought about vinegar actually but I was concerned it would cause some damage to traces, etc.  Is it safe to leave on the pins for a while?  How long would you suggest? Also, why use a brass brush?  Curious on that one. Thanks!

Awesome!  Thanks!

Hello all.  First time poster. I have a Macintosh SE FDHD that will not eject a floppy disk.  I was able to format one disk so I think the drive works but when ejecting them, they get stuck.  So I have to use the manual way. Are there any tutorials for cleaning and lubricating those drives?  ...
