I just rebuilt a 204BA which had been stored for many years, but
preserved with what looked like cosmoline.  I used a green Scotchbrite
pad dipped in lacquer thinner and elbow grease. Avoid using steel wool,
because the residue from the pad will cause dissimiliar-metal oxidation.
The end result played very well last weekend from Mexico at XA5T-abt
1300 Qs on 20 in a multi 2 effort.
