RE: Will do!

Just a quick "voice of experience" note... alcohol is a great cleaner but make sure it's completely evaporated before "firing" things up!

I got a bit hasty once after cleaning an enclosed relay in an old 2-way radio. Put the can back on before the alc was dry. Relay switched B+ to the transmitter... the resulting fireball was small but certainly got my attention! Fortunately no damage...

Oh, and one hand behind your back while poking around energized circuits... something one may be careless about after working on a lot of low voltage stuff.
