I purchased one of the first available digital watches in RSA in 1978. I was in the army and the $3 I payed for the watch then was a fortune. I have kept the watch to show the younger generation what a digital watch looked like in the late seventies.
The watch displayed red numbers. As you can see on the pictures, all types of wonderful crystals grew on the electronics; I presume this was caused by leaving the batteries in for too long. Is there a way I can safely dissolve these growths and use the watch again? I will appreciate any advice.
