[Kenwood] Internal Dust - To Blow or not to blow?

[Dave Edwards]

I would do that if your 950SDX were built in 1952 or so. Otherwise...always
remember that
saying..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"  Something as simple as not
having Japanese star screwdrivers (I forget the nomenclature, but Jensen has
'em) could leave you with cabinet screws with stripped heads. Leave a
bandanna over the rig when you are not using it, and it will stay fairly
dust free. When the sound from the fan becomes apparent, and it requires
oiling...then consider a general internal cleaning.
