	I've seen the problem reported on both my Rainbows, which I
picked up for $ 50 each at a school district surplus equipment action
about three years ago.  Neither of them worked at the time I purchased
them, which is why I got them at such a good price.  The oxidation I
found, though, was primarily on the PROM pins.  I popped them out,
attacked them with Q-tips and rubbing alcohol, and presto: two working
Rainbows.  One note about the environment: the school district in
question was in Redwood City, California, which is right on San Francisco
Bay.  Behind the parking lot was a brackish marsh, and there was a
greater than normal amount of rust to be found in the area.
