I was given an S-38B receiver, older ham cleaning out his shack.
Don't really care if it isn't worth much, just want to clean it up. I
apologize if this has been asked before, but what is recommended to
use for cleaning up the cabinet with crinkle finish? Good old
soap/water, simple Green, or ?
73 es tnx in advance

My radio cleaner of choice is usually windex. And then tissue paper to
wipe it off. You want a real soft paper when cleaning plastic clear
windows, etc, or it can scratch. Don't use "scratchy" paper towels.
I'd do a test on a hidden spot to make sure the windex won't hurt the
paint. But I've never had windex take off paint so far. I clean all my
radios with it, including my henry amp. "The windex is good for
cleaning tubes and glass chimneys" ...If you are careful, you can
do it and leave no fingerprints on the glass..When I dust off my
radios, I use soft paint brushes. Gets all the dust off, but won't
scratch anything. I've cleaned radios that were cig tar coated, and
windex takes that stuff off like melting butter...Really easy, and so
far for me, doesn't hurt paint or plastics...I clean my newer icom
with windex every once in a while, and also my kenwood TS-830. Never a
problem... MK
