[Elecraft] Cleaning a K3

[Richard Fjeld]

Be careful if using a vacuum cleaner.  A static build-up can develop.  I 
have seen it cause arcing.  That may have been a hose with metal fittings.
There is also a metal spring inside the hose that can conduct. Perhaps 
an attachment with a brush for the hose will avoid a discharge.

In this dedication of a Nation we humbly ask the blessing of God.
May He protect each and every one of us. May He guide me in the days to come.
