Working on the G05-801 from my LL.
This has seen some salty sea air it seems since the metal frame has quite some rust.
Now the bad thing is that the metal strip that makes contact with the aquadag has suffered from corrosion a lot too. Tried scrubbing it away with a Brillo which worked kinda OK but the corrosion is all through the metal at some points which makes it almost brake at some points.
it feels like some soft "weak" metal. I usually see springs on other tubes for this though.
What could I replace it with ?
