[Hallicrafters] SX-28 chassis cleaning again

[Al Parker]

Hi folks,
    It does look real nice, but like Barry, I kinda worry abt what the 409
got into.  What did you use to rinse it all out?  I use 409 sparingly, and
rinse with lots of distilled water.

    Actually, I think they nickel plated some of them at the factory, I have
one, not sure if it had been painted, but probably was.  Nickel isn't as
bright & shiny as chrome, but often gets mistaken for it.

    Yes, what kind of brass polish?
