Default Reclaiming Harbor Freight milling Machine

Hi all,
I picked up a Harbor Freight milling machine like this,

except this one was in a building damaged by a hurricane. So it
has some pretty heavy surface rust on a lot of it.
Is there a method to start the rust removal, I don't know if I should
start with a chemical method or what.
I don't expect to go all out on a restoration, I paid $100, not because
it was worth that to me, but it was a buddy and I just got it out of the
way before he destroys the building.
So, where do I start?

Hmm, Harbor Freight still sells it,
