Jeff, 

Your are right. But there appears to be no coating. Where is that pesky MFP now that we really need it? I worked on many VRC-12 and PRC-25/77 modules with "conformal coating" that made servicing impossible.

Maybe the first step is to spray it with dilute Simple Green then hose it down and dry it  with compressed air in the sun. But some of the traces look corroded.

For now, I am hoping to find a replacement.

Id be really surprised if a flood damaged them, I think theyre all relatively coated. In the one I took home to fix from the ship, ALL the electrolytics (only a handful) were very bad, except the primary caps in the power supply. (These were newer ura-17, so cv-3xxx.)

Dry em out, replace lytics, hit the switches and pots with deoxit and good to go.
