In Reply to: How do I begin to clean my 35yr old Kenwood Model 600.... posted by ABliss on April 1, 2014 at 21:10:50:
I'm not necessarily advocating this, but I heard of a novel (though not new) cleaning method last Summer when I was visiting the VintageTek museum in Portland, OR.
My Dad was explaining how they cleaned oscilloscopes when they came in for service back in the day. They were all built point-to-point, discrete components, tubes and all. He asked me how I thought they cleaned them. I suggested the usual - brushes, cloths dampened with water or solvents, etc.
He said no; that was way too slow to keep up with the volume. The eventual solution was to open the scopes up, and remove the tubes. Any paper caps were covered with condoms, and the insides of the scope were hosed off with soapy and then clear water. They were then dried in a pizza oven.
