I've
started taking the chips out one by one and cleaning the legs
by running them over a strip of scotch-brite. This clears off the
corrosion (and some of these are VERY corroded).
Ugh. I've seen early ICs where the legs essentially rot from the
inside-out; the pins become extremely fragile and prone to just
falling off, and no amount of cleaning makes a good connection.
