I have never seen one that is corroded so much as to need replacement and my guess is that neither has the dealer. Even if it turns out it needs replaced there have to be many available in 240's sitting in the recycling yards.

I would remove all the fuses and use a brass brush to clean all the contacts. You might even consider using a dremel tool with a brass brush to get at those hard to reach areas. A little electrical contact cleaner sprayed on might be a nice touch. I would go to a good auto supply store and get the glass tube type fuses of the correct rating. They will have the pointed ends necessary to fit correctly. Make cleaning the fuse box a scheduled event if you see the corrosion coming back.
