So I happened upon my dad's old Rockman X100 headphone amp a while back, and was bummed to find that he had left 8 AA batteries in it for the last 30 years. Naturally they had corroded from the acid over time.
It looks like the corrosion was contained to just the battery pack and I cleaned it up a bit:
for a number of photos
I plan to recap all of the capacitors with Nichicon capacitors, springs, battery contact plates, and possibly the switches.
My concern however is with the battery board with all of the corrosion. Is there any hope for saving this, or is the battery compartment board irreplaceable? I would love to be able to order a Rockadaptor and avoid batteries all together but I'm not sure if anything will work with the damage that's been done.\
Thanks!
