I use Muriatic Acid for cleaning (alkaline) battery residue ... a drop
at a time :). It works wonders on cleaning most of the residue. Try a
drop and see if you get a good foam reaction. If so, then it will most
likely do the job. In any case, it shouldn't hurt the plastic.
For quite a while, I had a small bottle of Acid Flux that was basically
Muriatic Acid, and it worked like a charm.

Hi folks,
Whilst getting an old Videomaster pong ready for sale (even though I know
nobody will buy it) I discovered it still had its batteries in from the last
time it was used - 1970s by the looks of the batteries - and they'd
naturally leaked all over the place.
I've tried standard Foamcleaner (anti static, natch) to remove the lovely
brown stuff but it's not having any of it. Any tips for removal of this
stuff without scratching the plastic too much?
cheers,
