[Hallicrafters] C--- you know it ain't easy

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Tom,

Not medical or rubbing alcohol. Hmmm. Some consider them as one in the same. 
So which one is acceptable; Ethyl or Methyl? I doubt that "Grain" would help 
with refinishing, but then again, if enough is consumed perhaps the 
afflicted restorer no longer cares!
