Mark, There are some very good contact cleaners around but if the plastic is trashed, may be time for an upgrade. 40 years is a long time. I had to pitch my brick, just dead, no life in it at all. Looked it over but saw no way to proceed. May have to get a new one though my IC2300 with a Hustler G7-144 up about 32' is doing a good job and I don't travel enough anymore to need a brick in the car.
