[Hallicrafters] Power washing a dusty, grimy rig??

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

I've hosed out hundreds of 51S-1 receivers and never had a failure.  Of 
course, the power transformer is hermetically sealed.  The trick is to blow 
out as much water as possible afterwards with compressed air and either 
leave the radio outside in the hot summer sun or next to the wood stove for 
a day or two.  It's all part of my restoration service.
