Hi Rich,
The chassis metalwork looks really awful, but in fact it's only surface rust, it's quite solid. I'll have to be very careful with the clean up of the RF chassis, it's not an easy unit to work on. The timebase chassis however can be completely dismantled, the metalwork de-rusted then followed by reassembly.
It is possible to detach the RF unit from the timebase chassis, this will help to make the job easier.

DFWB.
