You could try a dip in acetone. Not sure it would help, but it wouldn't hurt if done right.

That is some wickedly serious die erosion. I don't think I've ever seen an Ike with this much die erosion before.

I'd try an acetone bath first then use a q-tip soaked in acetone to gently wash away the contaminant.

Acetone is the best first try.... a quick (very quick) rinse with white vinegar may also remove the residue. Cheers, RickO

Cup of coffee at 7-11, might have to put a quarter with it though.

I like how you can see the metal spread lines, that sure is alot of die erosion though

My thoughts exactly! Spend it and the white stuff disappears!

Its fairly common on the 1971-D IKE's.

I doubt that acetone will have any effect on the white hazing. Vinegar might but that is just an acid dip.

Yes, I agree about the vinegar or lemon juice, but watch them even if they are mild acids and rinse with water afterwards. Those spots do not look to be PVC or hydrocarbon based so that acetone likely would not work...

I'd certainly like to know what it is as I have seen it before on IKE's and although it doesn't appear to damage the surface, it can be quite distracting.
