[ICOM] Cleaning up faceplate knobs

[paul glassman]

I use formula 409 on the knobs with a q-tip. Cleans them like new.....****DISCLAIMER***** carefully spot test a small knob in an inconspicuous place to make sure the 409 will not damage the finish of the knobs.                                                73  Paul w8jn

Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax 

si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?

Very short soak. Scrub'em with a tooth brush. Rinse'em thoroughly.
