[Elecraft] [POSSIBLE SPAM] Re: Cleaning solder flux

[Fred Jensen]

My S-Line acquired some tropical fungus that lived in the IF cans and 
would creep out onto the chassis in fuzzy little splotches.  I found 
that a trip to the DIY car wash followed by a hair dryer worked 
wonders.  Never seemed to bother the operation or calibration of the RX 
and TX either.

In my office lab we routinely clean circuit boards by scrubbing them with just water and force-drying them.  Works fine.  About a decade ago, I used to buy up surplus AM/ broadcast band transmitters for repurposing to other countries (mainly south America) for the Christian broadcasting markets.  Once back at my shop, the first stop was a good through power washing in the driveway (paper and other water damaged goods removed of course) followed by a good drying (leaf blower).  Works fine!
