Vintage Synth Repair

Anyone ever had one leak? I've never seen this before. Only in NiCADs. 
Some contamination and deterioration of the PCB too. Have to decide if I 
will jury rig a holder or go with another PC mount replacement...

All the time. Seen 10 year leakers and 30 year dry ones though. ?

Check the diode that  isolates it from 5vdc.   And go bigger with a tab mount battery too.   I like the panasonic BR-2/3A with the single long tabs on each end. Easy update.

I've never seen a CR2032 Leak.
