Fisher 1280x worth trying to fix?

Once you have corrosion like that, it's time to cut your losses. I would use the case for a new project.

Kind of what I was thinking especially after looking at the coil cable, the insulation is deteriorating. Think the owner thought it might be a basket case, so maybe
I can get it for nothing and use the case.

The most likely things to have been "shot" are the trimmer pots and panel pots. With a bit of luck it'll be a cheap fix, but with those trimmers out of business it'll need re-tuning and the appropriate tools for it. Connectors might also have gotten in bad shape.

This belongs to a club member, he said it no longer works. Powers up, constand threshold, no detection, external controls don't work except on/off switch.
Figured "freshwater" damage. Opened the case up and it does show water damage.
