Peter...I am looking to clean the inside of a radio I just picked up at
a hamfest. This thing looked like it was rolled around in tar. I
managed to get the outside nice and clean with windex and simple green,
amazing.... there was a real nice radio under all that crud!
Now, the inside I managed to blow some stuff away but there is still a
muddy, gummy film that I would like to get off, everytime I fire this
rig up with the heat of the tubes my basement stinks like an ash tray
and I want to stay away from the soap and water wash if possible.

Thanks...Gil





You know, years ago I was a heavy smoker. I NEVER achieved any
degree of buildup in my radios, most of which I still own. Some
Windex would remove whatever buildup occured on the outside
of the boxes at the time. I wonder what the hell these guys were
doing to achieve that level of contamination!

Gil, try a cloth dampened in Windex, that should help.
