RE: Windex-- usually -- will clean the external parts without damage

On occasion, I've had problems with Windex & silkscreen. Not common, but it pays to 'test on an inconspicuous surface' first, or at least proceed with caution around lablels. I wouldn't kid ya...

Another tip, FWIW -- I think that the best (safest) way to use Windex is to spray it on a paper towel or cleaning cloth and use the Windex-dampened cloth to clean, rather than to spray it directly on the surface being cleaned.

Emery cloth is good for cleaning up mild oxidation on RCA jacks &c. Also worth a try in many such cases is a little CAIG DeOxit D5 shpritzed on a Q-tip.


all the best,
mrh
