[GreenKeys] Model 26

Hey there:

Jack K2TTY Hart (SK) used to recommend the dish washer when the XYL isn't around.

I haven't tried it yet so I couldn't tell you how good it works.

Hi

“Back in the day” there were shops that would dunk parts / assemblies in various baths
of now illegal to use solvents. Often the setup was designed for cleaning with the
fluid boiling at the bottom of the tank and the vapor condensing on (and dripping off of)
the device being cleaned. That way you only had “distilled” solvent hitting the object.
Needless to say cleaning out the bottom of the tank was *not* a fun task …. been 
there / done that …. yuck ….

Would “modern” solvents be ok? ….. maybe yes … maybe no

How would you set up a vapor system with them? ( no, you don’t … trust me on that part)

Do you *really* want to go to all that hassle? Even with modern solvents, you have disposal issues. 

Indeed, after this process (or anything close to it) there is no lube left. Absolutely 
everything needs to be carefully lubricated before it is run. 

Last time I did a 26 ( maybe 1966 ??) I used a spray bottle of cleaner. The “gunk” ran out on 
the grass. That was a very different era.
