[Milsurplus] Most Difficult Bandswitch Clean

[David Edsall]

I used a teletypewriter table on casters, about 2 x 2 feet; it rotates for 
quick access all around, and if the radio is on its side you can work on the 
front and rear panels and the top & bottom as well.  They are easy to make 
with scrap lumber and casters.
