I think just a simple coat of paste wax applied by hand will do once the
saw is cleaned up.  Here's another, classic, non-electrolysis method for
cleaning, from Pete Taran's Vintage Saws website:

Scraping of the blade is followed by light sanding, just enough to
remove any lighter rust left behind after scraping.
