Picked up this 1960s-era vacuum tube voltmeter from Goodwill online. What a mess! A battery had been leaking for 30+ years, leaving the components covered in acid residue. The cabinet was beyond redemption, or so it seemed. This video follows the steps I took in bringing it back to life, including component testing/replacement, cabinet treating, decal application to the front panel, etc.
