With the amount of crap in there -- it chips off in 1/4" sheets, where I
can poke at it -- I think I need to get it boiled out. I rapped it with
a rubber mallet and that dislodged a lot, but I don't want to turn it
into a golf ball and it won't remove it all.

It otherwise doesn't look rusted out (no sign of leaks) so I will coat
it afterwards.

I got some good photos of the interior with my digital camera. The flash
is right over the lens and it looked into the sender hole just fine.
