Good safety info reminders, thank you.
Meanwhile here is #2 bread slicer, before and after.
Soon as it was immersed, there was a tar film that appeared in the surface
near the bubbles, it almost instantly strips the tar right off.
I went over it with a new paint brush to get any tougher more stubborn spots
off, but I think the insides of the slicers got hit with not a lot of tar and it came off fast
but I will be inspecting it closer with a mag lamp and flashlight.
This is 66% Purple Power and 33% Lemon Amonia.

This is an important caution below from Kim. I did mix cleaners together
for a difficult cleaning. It hurt my lungs and put me in bed for a day.
I did recover. I realized I was being poisoned before it permanently
damaged me or killed me.

Just a caution here. Be VERY careful about what you mix together.
It's very easy to poison yourself from a BAD reaction of the
chemicals. Just a heads up for others. Personally I've always used
Dawn dishwashing detergent in my ultrasonic cleaner. It works just fine.

Latest photo of the chassis as I am removing and cleaning each individual
assembly.
Just took the top bread slicer out and I have a seperate plastic
container I
will fill with the Fan-monia
and let it soak in there a while, then I pick it up and shake it
around so
the stuff bubbles and does further cleaning,
and repeat. Seems to loosen alot of not all the niccotine sludge.
I had to suppliment the Fantastick with some stuff Wallmart sells called
Purple Power, seems to be a general purpose
degreaser but sold in a larger container.
Along the way I found a doorknob cap had broke or maybe been defective
from
the factory and will have to order a new one.
I know from past experience niccotine is EXTEMELY ignitable and with this
amp delivering 1500W RF power with
I believe 2800VDC as the plate supply, the fact its everywhere left me no
choice but to be as picky as possible
to get 95% or more of the amp clean.
The blower fan is still in there and its loaded with the stuff.
