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



Don't use Simple Green or any other butyl based cleaner (409 for
example.) They dull paint.

I would just let the cabinet soak in soapy water for awhile, and then
go over it with a soft bristle brush.

....and be careful re-assembling it. It can be a killer. This is an AC-DC
set with a metal chassis that has to be *isolated* from the metal
cabinet. Make sure you save all the insulating washers (and pay
attention to how it goes back together) when you take it apart to clean it.
