I was decided to try evaporust on my Gilbarco 906 Computer, I tested one of the numbered pieces to see if it would affect paint, no effect at all. so i left Computer over night soaking inn evaporust, it came out looking great , all rust , oxidation, was removed, was very happy with the results
If it's the stuff they have at Harbor Freight I tried it a couple of times and did't have too great of results but maybe it was just the things I tried it on. It would take quite a bit of it to soak an entire computer, did you dilute it?...GB
any pictures before and after ?
it took my 3 gallons at $25 Canadian each. i did not dilute it, i separated the bottom half and top half , the bottom half was totally covered, top half was 3/4 so i had to flip it to do both sides, let them soak for 24 hours, halfway through i got a small screw driver and scraped off any flaking rust , which took a few minutes. i,ll post some pics tomorrow
in the US you can get it here

I use that stuff for parts all the time. I have some soaking the interior of a motorcycle gas tank as we speak. It is expensive though. $27.99/gallon at Harbor Freight in the US and you only get two maybe three uses with it. Sandblasting is a lot cheaper for simple parts and Evaporust for the complicated assemblies.
One tip I have: use the name brand Evaporust, I tried some from Home Depot called Metal Rescue and it was nowhere near the quality of Evaporust. And another good thing about Evaporust - no noxious smell and you can dump it down the drain.
Nice job, thanks for the pics.
I was going to try this when the time came, now there is no doubt about it!!
Thanks for the pics!! Looks awesome!!

That makes two of us. Now it won't be an experiment. I have computers in far worse condition than what is shown here.
As I understand it is not cheap so you need to fix a container that fit your computer well so it doesn't take too much fluid.
