This amp still works pretty good but all of the boards have this corrosion on a lot of the resistors where the leads come through the board. My original plan was to re-cap this amp and try to get the effects working, but when I recently pulled it out of the case, I found this. Now I'm wondering if it would still be worth the effort. Is there a way to remove the corrosion?

Any thoughts?
Here is a photo. I hope you can see what I'm talking about.
