Yes. I had experimented with some liquid wrench

on an acid brush and it seemed to work great on the wire bundles. But the "Fan-Monia" solution seems to do almost the same result. I will post some more photos when its cleaned up..... The fans are loaded with it too. I once had niccotine ignite on me when I cleaned the bandswitch on a Kenwood 530 rigg. It was a smoker radio and the contact that got clean allowed the normal 300V B+ to the plate of the driver tube. With the increased voltage, there was a foil trace from that feed that was very close to the ground plane foil, and niccotine was embedded in between, and it ignited when I powered on the rigg. When I cleaned it out, it had left a pretty good groove in the fiberglass board for the few seconds it burned. The stuff is very conductive. Smokers must be too. -- Steve Hearns [ KA2PTE ] Technotronic Dimensions, VT [USA] WWW.TECHNOTRONIC-DIMENSIONS.COM E-Mail: Steve@... ----- Original Message -----

In the PA compartment I see the bread slicers have some stuck in there, should be fun getting that out. Hopefully I can just let it soak in the stuff sprayed on, then maybe some compressed air can blow them clean, but for now this area is next. -- Steve Hearns [ KA2PTE ] Technotronic Dimensions, VT [USA] WWW.TECHNOTRONIC-DIMENSIONS.COM E-Mail: Steve@... |
