Whoa!
watch out and be careful using 409 cleaner, or any other cleaner for
that matter.
I've had 409 take the paint and silkscreen right off of front panels.
I completely destroyed a triton IV using mr clean.

Before

off to get to the string). Also, the receiver has a loud AGC pop.
I have read that this is a common problem, and there was a mod for
this.
The serial # for my radio is 01012. Was this a very early version of
the radio? Any information would be appreciated.--Marvin, WB4OKM
I found a couple years ago that an industrial strength ammonia cleaner
from the hardware store was very effective at cleaning tobacco tar off a
radio front panel. It helped that this panel had been painted with epoxy
paint, I think. Others like 409 got the paper towel dirty but the panel
stayed yellow.
