[Boatanchors] Cleaning radio chassis

[Mark Foltarz]

Get non-pumice hand cleaner and apply a generous amount to all surfaces that
require cleaning. 

With a soft tooth brush, gently work the hand cleaner into the surface. This is
espcially useful for wrinkled enamel finishes. Let this sit for a little while.
( about 5 minutes ) 

You now need to remove the goop. If the panel has been removed you may rinse
directly with warm water. Otherwise, use a damp sponge and repeatedly dab and
rinse the sponge until the panel is clean. 

Let dry or use a hair dryer if the electronics got wet. 

That's it. You'll find this method useful in restoring some incredibly dirty
equipment and restoring it back to good condition.
