>>Perhaps I wasn't clear in my request earlier. I'm not looking for the step-by-step procedural "solution" for repairing a Model D viewmaster. I'm simply looking for the best liquid solution for abating and/or removing the corrosion from metal parts damaged by battery acid. Any takers?

At least two other sources of phosphoric acid: 
1) Naval Jelly (another rust remover)
2) Coca-Cola

Results not guaranteed. :-)
