Looks like a liquid was spill on this M1 before I bought it. Thankfully I got it it before it got too serious. Drenched it with Isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush and wipe down with tissue and cotton buds. It has scrubbed up like new again
On the bright side , it doesn't seem to be Coke as it leaves a brown type residue.

Best thing is, with a good cleaning, it looks new again
Yay!!

Deoxit does wonders when cleaning that sort of corrosion and damage. Ridiculously over priced though.

I, on the other hand, seem to not be funny today.
