[Milsurplus] Mildew Removal

Hi All,

I recently acquired a TS-16 Test Set, which is for aligning and
calibrating the AN/APN-1 and ARN-1 Radio Altimeters.

The thing had been sitting in a damp area for some time. The output cable
and the inside surfaces of the OD painted wooden case were covered with a
hoar frost of white stuff- mildew I expect. It smells too.

I was able to clean up the case with some dilute bleach and a bit of
Fantastik.

However, the under chassis has the same stuff all over it. There is a
stencilled on "Tropicalized 1944" on the unit.

Any ideas how to clean the thing up?

Best,

-John
