Can't help you with parts, but NiCds have Potassium Hydroxide in them, a
base, not an acid. You use a mild acid like vinager to clean it up.

Hi Group,
I've nearly completed rebuilding a 8662A that was in a horrible state. The
nicd pack had exploded long ago and the fan had helped the corrosion
spread all around. As well as that it was caked with dust worse than any
instrument i've seen. Anyway after stripping, washing (!) and fixing
corrosion related issues it basically works. The only thing which is
beyond repair is the front-left sweep panel, the battery acid seems to
have eaten the lettering of the panel.
So is there anyone out there who has a donor unit with a this panel? I'd
even be happy with fairly average one.
Also it seems to have some failed LED modules, does anyone know if they
are still available? Corrosion may have killed these aswell. I think they
are also used in the 8640B. HP part nm. 1990-0330
