[ICOM] Cleaning out a dusty radio

Hi Mike,

The tip of River's tail doesn't do it? <g>

I use an extension kit which fits on the standard canister vac hose. It is
anti-static, and has an adjustable vacuum reducer valve.

Just recaptured a whole 0.1 m2 of lab floor space by clearing out my last
BA!

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

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.
