I have an old T-42 I am rebuilding for the last time. The two magnesium frame parts are severely oxidized and the back frame (which is cut out for the battery has a cracked element). I understand magnesium parts can be cleaned with a 10% chromic acid solution which might then make this amenable to a solid "gluing" together (main problem is where to find this without a chem lab).
Alternative is to try to find the "miscellaneous parts kit" - FRU 13R2915 - or parted-out frame parts.
In that case, does anyone know a source, and did this part kit ever get listed under another FRU?
(For the 14.1", the original part kit was FRU 91P8681, but have seen it listed as FRU 26R9985).
(Part numbers from Hardware Maintenance Manual 2nd Ed - Feb 2006
Thanks in advance...
