Leaking DEC VR201 monochrome monitor?

[william degnan]

I picked up a DEC VR201 display today, it was leaking a highly corrosive
brown liquid.  So corrosive it burned my skin painfully /  immediately and
I had to wash hands thoroughly.  Anyone come across a display that leaked a
corrosive liquid like that?  The display was stored in its original box, so
I don't think the brown liquid was from something stored on top of it, but
I don't know for sure.
