Hi,

I finally found myself a desktop M28KSR locally and took possession of it.
I never had a M28 and always wanted one and I looked for over 10 recent
years to find one so I am really excited.

I really want to give it a good cleaning and lube before I turn it on.  Is
there a "Step by Step" writeup for a M28 novice on how to properly clean the
unit and case?  How far should I disassemble the unit?  I seen past postings
that using Simple Green (full strength?) seems to be the preferred cleaning
agent over the traditional kerosene.  I am wondering about the felt pads
that if not removed, and I do not think it's something I would want to do,
would it not be saturated and colored with Simple Green?  How do I protect
the coils?  What should not get wet?

Is there a manual repository web site for the M28KSR that I could print from
(maybe PDFs)?  Sorry for probably asking about "standard tty stuff" for this
group but I want to get this right.

Best regards and thanks!

Dave, WD9ITR
