[Hallicrafters] Re: Cleaning metal - and Tubes, too

[Rich Oliver]

#0000 Steel wool is also the best thing I know for cleaning tubes.  It 
gets the crud off without scratching the glass.  Best of all it will 
clean antique tubes with water soluble markings (UV-199's, etc.) and 
leave those markings intact.

Durn close to perfect in my book!

Cheers, Rich
