[ICOM] Cleaning out a dusty radio

[Mike Olbrisch]

I use a vacuum cleaner designed for electronics - it is all anti-static.  It
comes with attachments for small work - brush tips - etc.  Not cheap - but well
worth it if you are into antique radios - as I am.

Perhaps you can search out a used one on the E-place or something.
