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

Thanks for all the tips! I had to replace the AC socket so far, the
insulation inside (bakelite?) was cracked, and I just didn't trust it.
It looks like a cruddy repair, but at least I can get it powered up
when I get to that point.

I noticed that toothbrushes are often mentioned. Are there any other
kinds suitable for this, like the 2" round parts cleaning brushes, or
is that overkill?
