<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2630017, member: 84179"]Sorry to say, but it's pretty much shot. The surface under the corrosion layer will more than likely be pitted and discolored. You could try soaking in distilled water for a week or so and brush with a soft brush (toothbrush). Change the water every time you brush it. In a few months some of the stuff may come off, but based on the pic, I don't hold out a lot of hope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
