Try mixing acetone with vegetable oil. Acetone has both polar (water soluble)
and non-polar characteristics IIRC, but it's basically polar. Mineral oil is
non-polar. Vegetable oil is polar or partly polar IIRC. Therefore, vegetable
oil should more easily mix with vegetable oil than mineral oil.

Note about WD-40:
In my experience [liquid] doesn't work as well as
WD-40 in pressurized cans.
Does the pressurizing agent let the WD-40 more easily
penetrate corrosion?
It could, I guess. The carrier is a light, volatile that I
suppose could wick into tight spaces.
Yeah, in that case the sand might not be the best thing to tumble
it in. ;-)

currently soaking the chain in a (covered) bucket of ATF

cups of acetone. Maybe not enough - but I'm cheap!
I have one of those units and it works fairly well. It is a bit sticky
on the reversing lever and requires a little finesse. Probably needs to
be cleaned and lubed too. Don't use it much but it is there when we need it.
I think the last use was to remove a small block Chevy engien from a boat.
