Garden-variety "Formula 409" spray cleaner works for me. I've had good luck soaking cases, chassis etc. with it for 15 minutes or so, then either rinsing with clear water or wiping down with a fresh

The only caveat I'd put on the above is that I have seen 409 eat epoxy paint very slightly (on military comms gear, back in 1970). I don't know if the formulation has changed, and haven't had contact

Ive had good luck with Scrubbing Bubbles and the usual collection of toothbrushes, artist brush, toothpick, paper towels, etc. The usual caveats apply also. Carl KM1H ________________________________

Scrubbing Bubbles works wonders on Commercial Broadcast transmitters that have been in harsh environments... Melts the dirt right off. Don WA4NPL _______________________________________________ Amps

I've used automotive brake cleaner to good effect. Also cellulose or xylene thinners would work. I bought an SB220 some years ago that looked like it was gold anodised inside and instantly filled the
