Greetings, this is my first post here as I just found this community! Over the weekend, I acquired a Compaq Presario CDS 540 all-in-one PC, circa 1995. As you can see from the images, this thing looks to have been in water at some point but I took a chance on it and decided I couldn't make it any worse.

But, here's my current problem. I started to break it down and clean the muck off and after pulling the CPU I realized not only is the CPU shot now (with pins broken off) but the CPU slot is probably corroded as well. I don't mind replacing, I guess, if I can find a spare match. Otherwise the first layer of grime gone I am not seeing any damage to traces or any oxidation that can't be cleaned with some work.

What are my chances of finding a replacement CPU and slot?
