[ICOM] Cleaning out a dusty radio

[C.Whitaker]

de WB2CPN
We were required to stand on a "static mat", and/or
wear a wrist strap which was connected to ground,
or the item under test, through a high resistance.
Me, I always keep one hand on the item's chassis, a
small brush in the other, and the house vacuum cleaner
snout under my arm.  Try to do all this were there is
high humidity, like a Sears humidifier in the room.  I've
noticed that the Positive wires collect more dust  if
they're a couple of hundred Volts and up.  Back when
I did in-home TV repair, (tubes then), the Housewife
would often be appalled at how filthy the inside of a
TV could get.  Then she'd run for a damp cloth.
I'd have to clean the whole TV to her approval.
TRIVIA.
