Hi Group,

I want to clean up the knobs on my FT-757. I want to remove them and then put
them in some type of cleaner.

Anyone tell me of a sure way to make plastic knobs look new?

Hi, on many of the radios I get used I usually use an old tooth brush and some
windex.
Usually looks great when done!

I clean equipment knobs by placing them in an ultrasonic cleaner.
It's great at getting the dirt out from between the
flutes or from knurled knobs.

You can also put plastic or bakelite knobs in a dish with a couple
denture tablets overnight. I did that with several plastic parts of a
radio I bought from a heavy smoker who had also spilled some soda on the
mic. I jst disassembled the mic and control heads, put the plastic in a
dish with 3 or 4 denture tablets and in the morning rinsed them off and
let them dry the rest of the day. That evening I reassembled the radio
and it looked like it was brand new!
