[Milsurplus] Unk markings on German portable set

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

If you can remove the rusted metal, soak it in evaporust.
This will remove the rust without further damaging the metal.

This is available at auto parts stores, if you like over paying.
You can also get it at places like Tractor Supply and Harbor Freight as 
well as hardware stores.

i thought it was smoke and mirrors until I tried some.

It works very well.
