Brian,

I'm too chicken to hose down the SP-600. I've dealt with
too many radios that had open IF transformers due to corrosion.
I don't want to wash the mouse **** into those IF cans!
I'll do it the hard way. No pain no gain!

Sounds like a candiate for the dishwasher treatment. Believe it or not,
several of our members report running really cruddy radios through the
dishwasher with good results. You might do a Google Groups search to find
the relevant details re sealing up transformers, etc.

It may not fit in a dishwasher. I spray em down with Simple Green and let
sit for 1/2hr then rinse. Never had a problem. The military does it, did you
know that?

When did they change to Simple Green from duPont 409? We bought it by
the palletload.

The shortest possible instant of time, far shorter than the
so-called "Planck time", is the interval between hitting a key
and realizing that one should *NOT* have hit _that_ key.

I'm sure your right. I was just refering to the washing. I just think SG is
good smelling and does a great job and is biodegradable. I think you can
dribk the stuff and it wont kill ya? Don't hold me to it though!
