[Boatanchors] Cleaning a grungy chassis

[Peter Burbank]

About 409......I'd avoid using that stuff on electronic gear. I 
cleaned a J-38 bakelite base with it once
and that key was too conductive for grid block keying no matter how 
many times I rinsed it. I suspect
that 409 has a lot of ions to scavenge grease. Later I was chatting 
with one of the cal guys with all the NBS
traceable standards that calibrated our lab gear periodically and he 
said his techs avoided 409 like a plague
He said "409 is a good way to trash a circuit board"
