Re: Cleaning crystals.


 

I¡¯ve not tried that.?

The beauty of powder BKF is that it¡¯s also super cheap :-)

FWIW another cleaner called ZUD seems to be identical.? I think both are available in liquid as well as powder form.??

I was enjoying some casual time with putting my Collins receiver back together and decided to try getting the crystals better looking than the greenish-brown that they were. I¡¯ve seen Drake crystals that sometimes look this bad and decided to try an old standby: Bar Keeper¡¯s Friend.?

It took very little effort to make these crystals look like they did in 1964.?

Bonus: BKF seems to help with old, dull knobs, too. I¡¯ve been using a handi-wipe but could see getting this loaded into a Dremel buffing pad.?
